notes |
covers the "Celtic", "Gaelic + Welsh" or Gaeilge + Cymraeg set, part of the "Indo-European" intercontinental affinity; comprising 1 set of languages (= 5 outer languages) spoken by communities in insular and maritime northwestern Europe, from the Hebridean islands to the Breton peninsula: 50-A GAEILGE + CYMRAEG The internal unity of the [50=] Celtic set appears less close than that of other sets in this phylosector, and there may be a case for regarding the [50=] Gaeilge + Gàidhlig (Gaelic) and [50=] Cymraeg + Brezhoneg (Britannic) chains as separate components of the Indo-European intercontinental affinity. |
