What language the Celts and Romans speak?

This is a bit tricky! Here's why:

* Celts: The Celts weren't a single, unified group with one language. They were a collection of tribes spread across Europe, each with their own language. These languages are known collectively as Celtic languages, and some examples include:

* Irish

* Scottish Gaelic

* Welsh

* Breton

* Manx (now extinct)

* Romans: The Romans spoke Latin. This language evolved into the Romance languages we know today, such as French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian.

It's important to remember:

* Celtic languages and Latin are distinct language families.

* Celtic languages were spoken in parts of Europe before the Romans arrived.

* The Romans did influence Celtic languages, and some Celtic languages borrowed words from Latin.

* The Romans also brought their own language, Latin, to some parts of Celtic Europe.

So, while it's not accurate to say the Celts and Romans spoke *the same* language, their languages were in contact and influenced each other.
