Re: Re : Re: Celtic countries
Duchemin: since when did "celtic culture" equate only with language? Alot of french folk have celtic influences even if they aren't from Bretagne and don't speak the language, the same happening here and everywhere else in Western Europe.
 Nominoë: well, Asturias would be borderland celtic/iberian but still within a... let's call it Great Galicia....

as you probably know, a frenchman from the Midi as well as a frenchman from Picardie or Poitou is always a frenchman, regardless of his regional accent or his culture being more romance, germanic or celtic. I think France is the true paradigm of european culture: plastic and rich beyong compare with great emphasis on regional differences but a unifying religiosity and sense of being. Likewise, in the Peninsula (Iberian Peninsula), you don't have "celtic regions" opposed to "romance regions", opposed to Proto-European regions (Basques), you have a multitude of European cultures that are fragmented on a individual level: you can find a "Baskid" portuguese, a "celtic/keltic" andalusian or a "romance" basque; the point remains that culturally some regions are more inclined to certain traditions and wouldn't doubt for a second that there is indeed a difference between the Galician/Asturian cultures and the Catalan/Occitan cultures but, nonetheless we are the same Folk even if of different Tribes.

Re: Celtic countries
My family raised me believing that Asturies was/is a Celtic region in Spain. My great grandfather was an Asturian bagpipe player. I also am part Basque and, from what I understand, recent studies show that there are some correlations between the Basques and Irish/British-Celts; not only ethnically, but also culturally in various ways. I also understand that Cantabria and La Rioja have certain Celtic cultural elements as well, if I'm not mistaken.
Anyways, I am new to this site and hope to learn a bit. I am not very rounded in things like physical anthropology, but am quite interested in it, among other topics commonly discussed on here.

Re: Celtic countries
What is/was Celtic in Spain is debatable. What made Manji say that Asturias is less Celtic than Galicia and that it is border with Iberian, I don't know. In fact Celtic influence in Asturias could be stronger than in Galicia.
There were two major flows of Celtic influence in ancient Iberia, which are well differentiated. One which we could identify as littoral, which is closer related to the British Islands Celtic, such as that in Asturias and Galicia. And another which we could identify as continental, represented by the Celtiberian tribes, the Bardulians, Vaccei and others. I'm not sure if Cantabrians would fit into one or the other, or in both. Both are, however, a mostly cultural adstratum over a native substratum population. p.s. we are not keen on white nationalism or other internationalisms here
