The Celtic languages (usually pronounced /ˈkɛltɪk/ but sometimes /ˈsɛltɪk/) are descended from Proto-Celtic, or "Common Celtic"; a branch of the greater Indo-European language family. The term "Celtic" was first used to describe this language group by Edward Lhuyd in 1707, following Paul-Yves Pezron who had already made the explicit link between the Celts described by classical writers and the Welsh and Breton languages.
Modern Celtic languages are mostly spoken on the north-western edge of Europe, notably in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, and the Isle of Man, and can be found spoken on Cape Breton Island. There is also a substantial number of Welsh speakers in the Patagonia area of Argentina. Some people speak Celtic languages in the other Celtic diaspora areas of the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In all these areas, the Celtic languages are now only spoken by minorities though there are continuing efforts at revitalisation. Welsh is the only Celtic language not classified as "endangered" by UNESCO.
The words Celt and Celtic (also Keltic) can refer to:

Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto; May 14, 1936 – December 20, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and actor of film and television. He performed in a range of music genres, including jazz, pop, rock'n'roll, folk, swing and country.
He started as a songwriter for Connie Francis, and recorded his own first million-seller "Splish Splash" in 1958. This was followed by "Dream Lover," "Mack the Knife," and "Beyond the Sea," which brought him world fame. In 1962, he won a Golden Globe Award for his first film Come September, co-starring his first wife, Sandra Dee.
Throughout the 1960s, he became more politically active and worked on Robert F. Kennedy's Democratic presidential campaign. He was present on the night of June 4/5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles at the time of Kennedy's assassination. The same year, he discovered that he had been brought up by his grandmother, not his mother, and that the girl he had thought to be his sister was actually his mother. These events deeply affected Darin and sent him into a long period of seclusion.

While the United Kingdom technically has no official language, over 97% of the population speaks English, the UK's de facto official language. But don't be so quick to label this country as monolingual. After English, the UK is host to 4 Celtic languages, 2 mixed languages, countless immigrant languages, and even another West Germanic language. In fact, Scots (or Lallans) is English's closest linguistic relative. Well, kinda... Between Welsh's super rare consonant sounds, Cornish's "critically endangered" status, and two mysterious "mixed languages" spoken by the elusive semi-nomadic Romani peoples, the United Kingdom is a lot more linguistically diverse than first thought.

Music is 'Celtic Dawn' by the much celebrated and renowned 'god of Celtic music,' Medwyn Goodall. SIL Ethnologue lists six "living" Celtic languages, of which four have retained a substantial number of native speakers. These are the Goidelic Irish (Gaeilge) and Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) descended from Old Irish, and the Brythonic Welsh and Breton descended from the British language. The other two, Cornish and Manx, were spoken into modern times but later died as spoken community languages. For both these languages, however, revitalization movements have led to the adoption of these languages by adults and children and produced some native speakers. Taken together, there were roughly one million native speakers of Celtic languages as of the 2000s. In 2010, there were more than 1.4 millio...

Old! This was the second ever film I edited on a computer. Shot in 1999 on Hi8 video (so spot the drop-out) and edited in Media Studio Pro on a home PC, this film documents the end of the march from Bodmin to Exeter to commemorate the Prayerbook War in 1549. It was the Cornish-language entry for the Celtic Film Festival in Truro in 2000. I've remastered it into 720p (the original resolution was 400 lines, so well done Adobe Media Encoder, especially as this version was ripped from a DVD) and widescreen.
Louis de Paor recites his poem Didjeridu accompanied by Kev Carmody in the opening sequence of An Dubh ina Gheal. In this revealing documentary Louis returns to his once adopted homeland to explore the complex relationship between Indigenous Australians and the Irish in Australia. At the heart of this exploration is the story of the Stolen Generations, mixed race children who were taken away from their families under assimilation policies, and an Aboriginal resistance lead by 'Shamrock Aborigines', who saw theirs as a shared struggle against a common oppressor. Weaving social and personal history with poetry, An Dubh ina Gheal reveals the hidden story of the Irish in Australia. An Dubh ina Gheal first screened on TG4 in December 2013.

The River Camel (Cornish: Dowr Camel) is a river in Cornwall, UK. It rises on the edge of Bodmin Moor and together with its tributaries drains a considerable part of North Cornwall. The river issues into the Celtic Sea area of the Atlantic Ocean between Stepper Point and Pentire Point having covered a distance of approximately 30 miles. The river is tidal as far upstream as Egloshayle. The name Camel derives from the Cornish language for 'the crooked one', a reference to its winding course.

More HD Music Videos: ILoveProfHowdy.Com "Beyond the Sea" is a 1946 contemporary pop song with music taken from the song "La Mer" by Charles Trenet and lyrics by Jack Lawrence. Trenet had composed "La Mer" (which means "The Sea") with French lyrics totally different and unrelated to the English language version that Lawrence composed. Trenet's French version was an homage and ode to the changing moods of the sea, while Lawrence, by just adding one word "Beyond" to the title, gave him the start whereby he made the song into one of a lover pining for a lost love. It has been recorded by many artists, including Benny Goodman, Mantovani, Roger Williams and Gisele MacKenzie, but Bobby Darin's version released in 1959 is the best known by many, reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"AN SGOTH" (59’) Eolas for BBC Scotland A year following traditional boatbuilder, John MacLeod, making the last Lewisian “Sgoth”. Winner ‘Best Documentary’ at the 1996 Celtic Film & TV Festival. Camera/Director: Sam Maynard One of the good things about working in Gaelic language television is that they occasionally commission some really unexpected programmes and “An Sgoth” was one such jewel. John MacLeod was a traditional boat builder, as was his father and his father’s father, but he had never built the big ‘Lewisian Sgoth’, a massive 27ft, open sailing boat. In fact, such a boat hadn’t been built for two or three generations and there were no plans written down explaining how to do it. However, the knowledge had been passed down through generations of the MacLeod boat builders and Jo...
