Never heard it being called Celtic before. Usually it's called Irish, or Gaeilge.

No no no, it's called Gaelic. Jeez! Get it straight!Originally Posted by Spaceman Spiff
There are three forms of Gaelic(The english version) of which Irish Gaeilge is but one. There's also Manx(Of the Island of Man) Gailck and Scottish Gaidhlig.
Celtic is a word describing a group of nomadic barbarians whose roots begin in northern Italy. Galli and Keltoi are two other variations of our English Celtic, both stemming from roman/greek cultures(i think, i could be wrong about Galli) Both of the words mean barbarian though.
It describes the ancestors of Ireland, and their languages. Gaelic is a direct disendant of the Celtic language, usually just referred to as Old Celtic. There were a bunch of different branches of the Celts and thus different variations in dialects, most of which i don't remember(I think there were 6 main languages) but Goidelic is the one that eventually led to the Irish, Manx, and Scottish Gaelic. Other Celtic ppl settled in other places like Britain and gave us languages like Welsh. There's so much more to it than this and it's 3am so i'm not gonna go on all night. But i love the Celtic culture. There's a lot to learn from its past.
