"The ancient Gaelic language of Scotland and Ireland seems to come from the original Gallic language of Gaul in southern Europe and Galatia, where the Gauls established colonies in Turkey as mercenaries for the Roman empire. "

From a homeland somewhere near the Black Sea the Celts moved throughout Western Europe. Their cousins moved East to India. Sanscrit is closely akin to Gaelic in vocabulary and structure.

IMO, this all ocurred after the Black Sea was flooded in 5600BC. They also moved into China and they are known as the Tocharians along with their extinct language (Indo-European), Tocharinan.
