You'll get your chance again, hon. You're plenty smart.

The term "geologist" is used for people who study the earth. This term is used for people who study the moon.

[JazzManJim]

These are the SIX Celtic languages (not all of which are currently extant).

What are:
Italic
Goidelic
Brythonic
Celtic
Welsh
Cornish

(And the last two are pure guesses.)

 

[Jimi]

What are

These are the SIX Celtic languages (not all of which are currently extant).

Gaelic
Welsh
Cornish
Breton

Brythonic
Old Celtic - those two I looked up

 

[kotori]

Close--Bythronic and Goidelic aren't languages so much as families of languages, there are three in each.

So far we've got:

1. Gaelic (I'm assuming you mean Scots Gaelic?)
2. Welsh
3. Cornish
4. Breton

5.
6.

Manx

 

[kotori]

Pin the tail on Jimmi

OK - Irish

Manx

Since the Manx usually go tailless.

But I'm afraid you didn't phrase--ah, fuck that. Your turn.

 

[Jimi]

Re: Gaelic

Is the division into 3 accurate? I always felt that they were the same language w/ regional idioms and pronunciation...

e.g. Slainte! and Slainte Bha!


Teach me more, please...

OK - I din't REALLY get that - (see second post)

Shameless, pick a poster, please... Besides, i'd like to go and grab some lunch.

 

[kotori]

That's how I understand it. Like Italian Spanish Portuguese--you can tell they're related, but not the same. And of course, they are Indo-European, so there are cognates between the Celtic and the Romance languages as well.
