Celtic

Celtic refers to a group of languages, cultures, and peoples associated with the Celts, a diverse group of tribal societies in Iron Age and medieval Europe, particularly in regions such as the British Isles, France (especially Brittany), and parts of Central Europe. The term encompasses various elements, including the Celtic languages—such as Welsh, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Cornish, and Breton—as well as cultural practices, art forms, and mythologies that are characteristic of these groups. The Celtic identity is often celebrated for its rich folklore, music, and distinctive artistic styles, such as intricate knotwork and metalwork. The term can also refer to modern cultural movements that seek to preserve and promote Celtic heritage and traditions.
