I don't agree that Germans are just another variety of Celts. Germanic languages are not particularly close to Celtic languages. Celtic languages seem to related considerably more closely to Italic languages like Latin. Surely you wouldn't say that the speakers of Italic languages were just another variety of Celts?

Sorry, but as long as you insist on going exculsively down the language road and ignoring all the other facts of history and Bible you are going to be frustrated. Language is simply a VERY POOR INDICATOR of roots, especially over the long time periods we are examining. Ask any real linguist/archeologist.
