Thoughts on Galicia?

[LKM]

While the term that became Celtic came from a Roman description of the tribes of Brittan as like the Celtae tribes of France, the idea of a Celtic identity is far more recent. The Idea of Celtic Nations did not show up until the 18th century. Some of the people groups that were identified as Celtic by people in the 18th and 19th centuries have only recently adopted the concept of Celtic Identity.

The term Celtic keeps changing, and now normally reefers to a language family. The term has also been used for the peoples, or families, whose ancestors spoke Celtic languages. Most of what is now Europe once spoke Celtic languages, including in Galicia, Spain. As different people define the work Celtic differently it is up for interpretation.

The Celtiberi tribes of Spain once spoke a language much like the ancient Irish and had a culture that many people today see as Celtic. A study of the pre-Roman culture of Galicia, Spain could go on for several decades or centuries. From what I understand there were in ancient times several cultural similarities and trade connections between what is now Galicia, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. DNA research has also shown a strong genetic connection between these peoples.

As for kilt-like garments, or tartan in traditional garments the discussion can go on for a long time. Kilt-like garments and tartan use spans most of the world, even back to ancient times.
