The Spanish band Cuélebre has this song titled "Gontavrio" in the Gaulish language. Perhaps people here will enjoy it.

How possible could it be that Gallaecian and Lusitanian were the same language?

Thank you for this sub

I am deleting my Reddit account soon but I want to thank everyone that interacted with me on this sub and that was always kind to share information, sources and be always patient and was always ready to answer my questions. It is a very interesting sub and I hope that you keep it alive and so welcoming!

Perhaps I will be back in the future, there is a Gallaecian Conlang - inspired by the possible Celtic language of Galicia - that I would like to learn, but I wonder if the efforts to learn a Conlang are just going to be in vain, since I don’t think many people will be interested or there will be a community that also takes part and creates content in it.

But anyway, thank you and all the best!

Possible Celtic-related word in the name of a Town in Almeria, Spain?

Context: Few months ago, I was googling about the name that Dublin might have had if they adopted the Gaeilge "baile átha cliath", and some people suggest "Ballyaclee"

This was certainly extrange for me, because there is a town called "Bayárcal" here in my province; Almeria, which sounds pretty similar, doesn't it?

The toponym of Bayárcal is discussed, but several authors suggest an Iberian root. Now well: the Iberians were closely related to the Celts (the famous Celtiberian people). Despite Celtiberians were not in Almeria (at least the info that I found says that), what if there was some words exchange or loanwords between Celtiberians and "pure" Iberians (maybe by celtic explorer or anything). Such like a gradient between 100%celtic language and 100%iberian language, where Celtiberians were all between these, so that would explain how Bayárcal seems and sounds similar to Baile Átha Cliath

Celtic Drowning Entities

I’m assembling a kind of modern bestiary where I present a group of mythical creatures if they’re close geographically, in appearance and behaviour. I was making the Celtic Drowning Entities chapter and I managed to group:

  • Jenny Greenteeth
  • Grindylow
  • Peg Powler
  • Nelly Longarms
  • Morgen

They are all close geographically (Celtic Nations area), in appearance (humanoid with a group that has green skin) and in behaviour (all of them drown people). In the format I’m doing, a page has 3 mythical creatures, but I only found 5 of them. I’m asking for your help to find at least one more that fills in all of the boxes. (Water horses don’t count cause they’re already their own group)

The Celtiberian language has around 200 inscriptions, is it possible to create a Conlang trying to reconstruct it?

Words for Rugby in Celtic languages?

A seasonal thread and because I follow Rugby:

Irish (Gaeilge) - Rugbaí;

Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) - Rugbaidh;

Welsh (Cymraeg) - Rygbi;

I do not know the Cornish (Kernewek/Kernowek), Breton, Galician or Manx words: can anyone fill them in?
