Modern geneticists have discovered that iberian people's from the coast of Spain, Portugal and maybe even the berbers of Morocco had trade links with the western British Isles way before the Romans. And settled in Britain. These Iberian descendents 'adopted' a celtic culture and language . Look how dark and swarthy a lot of the Welsh are Catherine Zeta Jones and John Rhys Davies can pass for being Spanish. Plus later blood interbreeding with blond viking Scandavians particularly Scotland and the Isle of Man and parts of Ireland where you see blonde or red hair with fair complexions. People forget an obvious old celtic nation Galicia in NW Spain. Genetically the Irish etc are not celtic but have adopted celtic language and culture.

Modern theories place the development of the Celtic languages in their earliest forms before the Slavs or any other modern European group. Celtic, as we understand it now, developed in the Atlantic zone after the glaciers melted and then spread into mainland Europe, not the other way around.<br /><br />I highly recommend checking out the newer works of Barry Cunliffe on the subject.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10428866747185955615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743102750721348863.post-20879996700624358752017-06-01T17:14:47.945-07:002017-06-01T17:14:47.945-07:00Did you just equate England to Ireland...!?Did you just equate England to Ireland...!?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160685178491972502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743102750721348863.post-90649087044111514962017-01-09T01:08:25.587-08:002017-01-09T01:08:25.587-08:00Yes but they never made it to Ireland.

When the Romans left in the 5th centurie the Anglos, Saxons, Frisians and Jutes mass migrated to the brittish islands. So they had 400 years of influence from Germanic country long before the vikings came. You can see it in the name and langue of England.
