Diolch yn fawr! Dwi'n mynd i Pueblo, Colorado yfory.
Pob hwyl!

Thanks,
I couldn't remember the fancier names, been a while since I studied the stuff. It is interesting to me, particularly the revival of the language.
IIRC the first public schools were those provided by the British to their Celtic cousins essentially in order to ensure that the Gaelic was wiped out. To my mind, public education is still in the business of destroying culture, mostly - but that is another topic.

Thanks James C. Bennett for the link back here.

What is strange is that Celtic is from the Centum/Western branch of Indo-European (along with Germanic, Italic) and Hindi is from the Satem/Eastern branch of Indo-European (along with Iranic, Slavic, Greek, Persian, Tocharian languages)

Stephen Oppenheimer mentions the same thing in his book Origins Of The British, I can't remember what he said though.

This is one of those “hey, neat topic”, and I was in here four months ago, the last time it was revived. :’) Thanks Cronos.
