It is the … It is the difference of P’s and Q’s. Breton is P or Proto Celtic along with Galatian Welsh and Cornish. They come from France were the original “Celts” were first described in the first century BCE by the Romans. This is popular with Alan Stivell because musically those regions are very similar to each other as opposed to Irish, Scottish and Manx which are connected with each other but not with the “P” group. What you may be thinking is insular vs continental celtic which is a another argument.
Well this is an … Well this is an Irish song as he is Using an Irish Flute and I know the Harp came from the Egyptians but its well known that Brian Boru of (Irish nationality) played it. As his name is mentioned in the Song.
You’re confusing … You’re confusing your Celts. The Gaol (or Gaul) went to France after their war with the Romans. The Celts of Britain, Ireland, Scotland, etc. were already there by that point. They cam through France, but also over from Scandinavia. “Celt” is not a race, but a similar language and culture shared by several groups. Just as “Germanic” doesn’t necessarily mean “German” when speaking of old cultures.
english roots in … english roots in France?it’s the other way around!!the Celts settled in France first,then England,then Ireland and Scotland as well!!
How is his Irish? … How is his Irish? I’m learning some Irish and I find it very hard to catch what he sings (I know part of it’s in Breton, I’m watching the lyrics while listening). I understand Stivell is French and Breton so I was thinking perhaps his Irish isn’t characteristic?
(Don’t mean to pick on the singer, I love the song! Just curious and wanting to learn.)
Armor: French=Latin … Armor: French=Latin+Celt+arabic+spanish+eastern language :Indo-europeene roots
ENglish is GERMAN + belges and jutes languages invadors+Norse+Latin (Normands were Danes and vikings people invadors) Breton is a different language because no invadors came in Brittany like in Scotland, just Celts lived here ,there are no Roman construction here like in Scotland …(sorry for pidjin)
Your quite correct … Your quite correct Gaelic is a Goidelic langauge ( Scots, Irish, Manx )
Were as Breton is Brythonic ( Breton, Welsh, Cornish, brian )
though Brythonic & Goidelic both come from the same Insular Celtic languages. Which are different from Germanic languages ( English, Greman, Danish etc )and Latin languages
( French,Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Catalan and Romanian )
Latine got so mixed … Latine got so mixed with others languages spoken that it created new languages very different : “French”, “Italian”, “Spanish”.
The same thing happened to germanic languages, that created “English”, “German” etc.
The same thing, far in the past, happened to the Celtic, it created “Breton”, “Gaelic”, “Cornish” etc.
As you see German is closer to English than Breton is closed to French because of the different original language, but all thoses language got a commun origin : The indo-european
No problem In … No problem In fact Languages is a complicated topic. You’ve got several languages, explained by several originis (different) and then you’ve got dialect, wich is a language, in a main language, they have the same original language, but évoluated differently.
By exemple, in Roman times you habe Latine (the roman language), and you had Germanic, and you had Celtic. But you could find dialects to each of thoses languages.
