Delve into the origin of the Celts and how language reveals a shared Eurasian past, from ancient tribes to modern dialects.
This rigorous study surveys early ideas about Celtic origins and the wide spread of Celtic speech. It traces how ancient authors described Celtic groups, from Iberian Celts to the Scottish Gael, and explains how philology and language comparisons illuminate connections across Europe and Asia.
Readers will gain a framework for understanding how the Celtic world fits into the larger Indo-European family, including discussions of linguistic strands like Welsh, Gaelic, and Celtiberian. The work blends historical detail with linguistic analysis to show how names, grammars, and roots reveal common ancestry among European tongues.
Ideal for readers of linguistic history and classical studies who seek a thoughtful, non-fiction account of Celtic origins and language evolution.

Excerpt from On the Origin of the Celts the Dialects Extant of Their Language: Inaugural Dissertation for the Attainment of the Degrees of Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Arts, at the University of Rostock
Pliny speaks 4) Of the promontory of the Cim bri; and the peninsula of Jutland has been called Chersonesus Cimbrica without however it being proved, that the Cimbri ever inhabited it. It is most probable, that the Cimbri, who invaded Italy, were composed of mixed tribes both Teutonic and Celtic, for in their war with Marius, in the year 101 b. C., the description of their arms and the name of their chief Bojorix appear to designate them as Celtae They were always ready with arms in their hands to leave the country 7) and they extended their migrations to the most distant countries, where they usually settled, so that we find Celtic tribes in coun2 tries altogether opposed to each other in climate and geographical position.
