The Picts are different from the "Celts", but is the

Picts were a Celtic ethnic group

I bet you're one of those morons who think Anglo-Saxons weren't Germanic

Picts are just the Celts of northern Scotland.

>>1794027

They were basque, you bunch of dumbf*cks.

>>1794163
We /x/ now

Picts are a Celtic group who lived in Scotland. I'm not even sure what you're asking exactly.

Also basque originated on the bottom of the sea, they all have gills!

Anglo-saxons are just the last invaders. Their history is rather recent. Whats the name of the royal house?

Why do english speakers pronounce celts are kelts?

>>1794163
y u censor

>>1794668
Isn't that the proper Greek pronunciation, because the Greek c was never soft (like the c in celery)?

Also in regards to the OP I think it was Bede that said Pictish was a separate language (or at least unintelligible) to the Brythonic language

>the last invaders

Lol

>>1794673
Because it was rude, even if they deserved it.

>>1794690
The Norman one was just a bunch of aristocrats as opposed to a goddamned population movement the Anglo-Saxons pulled off.

>>1794723

Don't use the word invasion then.

I was just saying that the Anglo-Saxons were not Celts. If the Anglo-Saxons were spelling Celts, they would probably spell it as Kelts.

since we don't have any recordings of their language, we don't actually know who the Picts were.

But we can usually assume they were Celts, probably Brythonnic, just by the fact that that is what all their neighbors were.

their arts are alike as well

It's by no means clear on what scale the Anglo-Saxon migrations took place, and there's some evidence to suggest that it was essentially very similar to the Norman conquest: a foreign minority group rose to preeminence due to their superior military force and became a prestige culture, subsuming the culture of the majority because it was synonymous with the culture of power.

Same goes for Celts. At the very least, the Celtic languages displaced previous non-Indoeuropean languages, the same way they would later be displaced.
