When pronounced the similarities are even more striking meaning that       you may have a a massive head start learning other spoken Celtic       languages after learning one Celtic language.       2. Kernewek would seem to be EXTREMELY close to Brezhoneg despite the       sea separating them.       3. Brythonic Celtic languages are all VERY close       (Cymraeg,Kernewek,Brezhoneg) it would seem.       4. Goidelic Celtic languages are all VERY close (Gaidhlig,Gaelg,Gaeilge)       it would seem too.       5. Maybe learning one Brythonic and one Goidelic language gives you the       best head start to the others.              Also, found out that Asturian and Galician both have singular reflexive       pronouns just the same as Celtic personal pronouns , but the plural       froms are much the same as other Romance languages - compare with       Gaeilge above - interesting given the past links between NW Spain and       Ireland !!!              myself = me       thyself = te       hisself = se       herself = se              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
