@JonnyLightning ...''not many people knows it'' a group of britans'' from where now is england'' came into galiza scaping from the angle-saxon invasion leaded by a bishop named mailoc and stableshed in the north of the countrie '' probably in brigantia'' so that is why some words of modern gallitian have celtic root , also some experts think that the bagpipes where introduced in galiza by the britans of mailoc

@JonnyLightning romans named our coutrie''gallaetia'' that means the little gaul , because the landscape and the tribes , where very similar to the french gauls , but those tribes are named castrexos because they lived in castros circular houses of stone , and they where romanized , so latin'' with reminences of the lenguage they talk'' was their lenguage , but there was comercial reationship between galiza, ireland and bretagne before and after the coming of the romans , and a group ...

No you idiot, a dead language is when there are no speakers left. It's impossible for there to be "30-60 Gallaic speakers". The Celtic language that was spoken in Galicia (a Q-Celtic language) has been dead for nearly a millenia. There is no restoration movement, there's nothing. It's dead and gone, replaced by Galician, a Romance language. I'll acknowledge that there is a fair amount of loanwords in Galician from Gallaic, but that's it.

@gadiegolo Well unfortunately sarcasm is not transmitted properly on the Internet, but the undeniable point is that Galiza/Galicia is part of Spain, right wingers and conservatives tend to do well in that region and above all, in Hispanic America, "Gallego" is synonymous with Spaniard disregarding from what region they came from. Regards from a Spaniard/Venezuelan, one of the countries with the highest proportion of Galician descendants outside Spain

@JonnyLightning Also, will the Isle of Man be excluded next? Because Manx Gaelic is dying.

And the Celtic Congress has been to stupid to even investigate if there are still speakers of Gallaic in Galicia, which there are but the numbers of fluent speakers are 30-60 people.

And NO I'm not speaking of Galician, Gallaic and Galician are both different. Gallaic is a P-Celtic language, most people only spoke a few words of the language but thanks to a restoration movement we can learn it.

@JonnyLightning Árón is Gallaic. I speak both Galician and Gallaic, Galician is the language everyone in the towns and cities speak.

As I said before there are atleast 3 or 4 farming families here that speak Gallaic, it is a dead language that does not mean that some people don't speak it. When a language is dead it means that there are no native speakers, we have fluent speakers but we grew up speaking Galician and learned Gallaic from our families later on.

Aron Laxara? Sounds more Basque to me. Also, no one can speak Gallaic, it's a long-dead language. If you're referring to Galician, that's an Italic language related to Portuguese. There hasn't been a Celtic language spoken in Galicia for nearly a thousand years. Hence, your exclusion from the Celtic Congress.
