think I might have to brush up on my French...
Wasn't sure whether to post this here or under the gaelic languages forum...
http://normandie-kilts.easyforum.fr/
Might interest a few of our members... Now of course being British, and in the time honored traditions of the empire, I'd have to expect them all to learn english...

The seven celtic nations are the six you named plus GALICIA (combined with ASTURIA) which is situated in the north of Spain.

Re: think I might have to brush up on my French...
In addition, areas of north-western Iberia, particularly Galicia and Asturias, are sometimes identified as Celtic, due to the unique culture of the region. Unlike the others, however, no Celtic language has been spoken there in modern times. Before the expansions of the Roman Republic and Germanic tribes, a significant part of Europe was Celtic.

The Celts in Europe, past and present:
Dark green = areas where Celtic languages are widely spoken
Mid green = the six most commonly recognised 'Celtic nations'
Light green = maximum Celtic expansion, by the 3rd century BC
Yellow = core Hallstatt territory, by the 6th century BC
If you are going to include Galicia and Asturias, then you have to include England as well!

Chas

Of course Brittany is one of the Celtic nations, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Normadie (except that they're neighbours!).

The site appears to come up with Ebay connections to tartan tat websites though - best ignored though I guess they do help pay for the site.
