What country is Celtic language from?

Celtic languages are not from one single country, but rather a family of languages spoken by different groups of people in various parts of Europe over time.

Here's a breakdown:

* Origins: The proto-Celtic language, the ancestor of all Celtic languages, is thought to have been spoken in mainland Europe around the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age (around 1000 BC).

* Spread: Celtic speakers migrated from mainland Europe westward and northward, reaching areas like the British Isles and parts of modern-day France, Spain, and Portugal.

* Modern Distribution: Today, Celtic languages are spoken in:

* Ireland: Irish Gaelic

* Scotland: Scottish Gaelic

* Wales: Welsh

* Brittany (France): Breton

* Cornwall (England): Cornish (nearly extinct)

* Isle of Man: Manx (extinct)

Therefore, Celtic languages are associated with various countries, reflecting the historical migrations and evolution of these languages.
