The Aryans (Indo-Europeans) had the caste system that the Celts (not the Slavs nor the Germanics tribes) used. It was the same social structure, same origins, similar language. This cannot be said of the Germanic tribes.
Please could you elaborate on that? I've never heard of the Celts having a caste system.
The Celts didn't ONLY settle in Brittany region, but the Irish and Brittany Celts you are reffering to were the only celts to do so.
The Celts were based only in Western Europe, West and south of the Germanics.
The Gauls also made the Galatians (from which we get the name of a book in the Bible.)
The Galatians were the results of the GAulish expansion south in the 3rd century BC when they attacked Rome and then moved south to take over what became Galatia.
