About Celts
When referring to the Celtic nations, peoples and cultures, the world "Celt" is most-commonly pronounced with a hard C(IPA:k), as in "cat". The concept of a Celtic culture is tenuous, and has only been used since the 18th century to refer to contemporary cultures and peoples. The Celtic languages are a branch of the Indo-European languages with some traits in common, and a recorded history back to the 6th century BC. Most written sources about the Celts in ancient times are from theRoman Empire. The Celts were the dominant ethnic group inGaul(which made up France and neighbouring countries),Hibernia(Ireland) andBritannia(Britain), and were also present inHispania(Spain) and other lands the Romans were expanding into, including as far east asNorth Central Anatolia, then known asGalatiaafter
