(The global Celtic population today is near 1 BILLION out of a global 6 BILLION so is still ~10%+).

Laughable, extremely laughable. The Celtic population today, if you consider the narrow view of those with 50% or more ancestors who spoke the language is minuscule. Celts are not even a race, they are a group of peoples who spoke related languages. By that, Celt are a linguistic group NOT a racial group. Sticking to the linguistic group, the number of Celts today is probably 20 million (Ireland, Brittany, Galicia) and their first language is English - a Germano-Roman language.

Romans. Now that originated as a racial group, the Italic peoples Hmmm.. Everyone whose ancestors come from the Mediterranean region and from England would be Roman in origin. But then Roman language, hmmm.. everyone who speaks French, Spanish, English Romanian , Italian etc. are roman descendents. EVeryone who lives in a country that follows Roman laws and respect for law is Roman. That would also include the former Byzantine places and even The Arabs adopted Roman customs (the Arab dinars are a corruption of the Roman Denarrii)
