My biggest ick about a lot of typical fantasy readers are the ones who complain about the "fake names that are pronounced wrong" and then it's just a list of Celtic names that have always fucking existed

They're not "wrong" babe you're just a fucking idiot

Linguists start compiling first ever complete dictionary of ancient Celtic

More than 1,000 words used as far back as 325BC to be collected for insight into past linguistic landscape

"It is not likely to be a hefty volume because the vast majority of the material has been lost in the mists of time. But the remnants of a language spoken in parts of the UK and Ireland 2,000 years ago are being collected for what is being billed as the first complete dictionary of ancient Celtic.

"The dictionary will not be huge because relatively few words survive, but experts from Aberystwyth University say they expect they will end up with more than 1,000 words.

"Sources for the dictionary will range from Julius Caesar’s account of his conquest of parts of northern Europe to ancient memorial stones. It will include words from about 325BC up to AD500."

Cornish Shorts - Series 1: 1. Yn Mor (At Sea)

Em works with her dad on his boat, but her mother wants her to have a different life.

A series of short films has been produced in Cornish (with English subtitles).

I know Tumblr loves a Celtic language, so please show these some love, and then maybe more media will get produced yn Kernowek.

If you're going to bat for regions and nations called celtic, take a second and remember that's MORE than just gaelic nations, lol, brythonic groups (cornish, Welsh, breton) need as much support and solidarity.

So uh, I tried to translate another song into Irish!

This time it's "through me to you" by Ferry, because I've been obsessed with that song. I'm hoping to cover it in Irish.

I know I've made some spelling mistakes, but I'm asking for help with one line in particulary.

The last line/2 lines at the bottom of page 2. I knew the original lyrics would never fit, so I tried to edit it to "I wanted to throw up coal", but I'm not sure if I got it right grammatically

Also, would anyone be interested in my posting more of my attempted Irish versions of songs? I've only really done them for vocaloid, but still
