    Default Celtic Language

    What form of Celt do the soldiers speak ingame? since the only surviving celtic languages are; Breton (from brittany), Gaelic (scottish and irish) Cornish, and Welsh(yuck!)

    lol it was a joke.

    other guys from the isles will appreciate it... aslong as they aren't welsh! haha

    but yeah, I was under the impression that the Gallic language was lost. Even Breton changed from its original form when they were Gauls.

    You're right in that the Gallic language was lost, similar in manner to Indo-European, which is widely-accepted to be reconstructable, but far from certain in application. There is no way a Celtic Voice Mod could NOT be reconstructed, since the Gauls, La Tene / Halstatt, and British Islanders were no literate society of grammarians.


    You're wrong in that Welsh is a beautiful language, modern, but especially Old Welsh. As a representative of Celtic, it is also very true to the original compared to other dialects.

    Strange enough, not so much welsh yet even so it sounds a wee foreign, if you get my drift? Both in Gaul and the Gallic Cisalpine I've only heard the Celts there use the Deutsch word for, now, now, now!

    Question has been answered, and I don't want modern politics (particular issues surrounding irish nationhood) being voiced on these forum. Also, Welsh is a beautiful language.
