CELTIC !

Could we have used another adjective instead of Celtic? For example, X or Y? Has a more suitable name been proposed for the French, rather than linking them etymologically and symbolically to the Germans? This observation can also extend to Briton or British, which originates from us, the Bretons-Britons, and to Russian, whose origin is Sweden. Should I remind you that it’s the reality behind these names that matters, much more than the words we use, which are sometimes inadequate.

The conquests of nearby neighbours by England and France — the Welsh, Scots, Irish, and Bretons — imposed language, culture, lifestyle, and thinking. But this is not entirely the case: some resistance remains. For example, two million people still speak, to varying degrees, a Celtic language.

Ten Aspects of the Modern Celtic World

As a reminder, here is the diagram (already present in my book) showing what the current Celtic countries share in terms of common points, which are so numerous and striking.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Geography: seas, climate, Hercynian soil and subsoil, landscapes.                                                         Housing, lifestyle: “Breton house”, predominant in Scotland, common in Wales and Ireland.    Crossroads, exchanges: over 6,000 years (see DNA).

Celtic languages: grammar, syntax, vocabulary (more than half of Breton language common with Welsh, between a quarter and a third with Scottish or Irish Gaelic).
Poetry: internal rhymes (ancient poetry, assonances in traditional lyrics), etc.
Music: deep and subtle links between Breton and Gaelic music (see my pages on the subject here);
elsewhere, I show connections with Welsh music (when one moves away from the music imported by Protestant churches).
The real connections between Brittany and French provinces are very apparent, but I can show that they are more superficial and explain why. 
Legend: shared.
Religion: same fondations and atavisms.
Art: same ancestral and permanent traits 
Social, political: strong analogies.
Sports (Celtic wrestling, bazhig kamm, camàn), etc.
