Keltic refers to the nu-celts at ireland and scotland and wales, while real celts that are all dead are reffered as "Celtic" de facto.

What the fuck am I reading.

There is no other way of pronouncing it. The Celts themselves didn't use soft Cs.

"Of all the nations that have hitherto lived on the face of the earth, the English have the worst mode of pronouncing learned languages. This is admitted by the whole human race [...] This poor meagre sordid language resembles nothing so much as the hissing of serpents or geese. [...] The distinction which English writers are too stupid to notice, but which the Irish Grammarians are perpetually talking of, the distinction between broad and narrow vowels—governs the English language. [...] If we follow the unwritten law of the English we shall pronounce (Celt) Selt but Cæsar would pronounce it, Kaylt. Thus the reader may take which pronunciation he pleases. He may follow the rule of the Latin or the rule of the English language, and in either case be right."

No, it's just that an english pronunciation of the latin C is plain wrong. That'S most likely also were the German "Kaiser" for Caesar comes from.

This is some witch cult bullshit. The same logic is used by people who grasp at straws in European folklore and customs and claim that Western Europe was predominantly pagan until the 1500s.

KELTIC GUARDIAN, ATTACK!

>>2547882

Well the peoples that propagated the word within the English speaking world pronounced it as "KELT". But when describing them, we say "SELL TICK".
>>
don't like it?

then get out :D

>>2551704
That's where I learned to pronounce it too.
>>
>>2547882
Czech language: Keltové, Keltské výrobky, Keltské symboly, Keltská jména, Keltský horoskop.
Piss off.
The letters aren't supposed to be capital (aside from the first one), they are so to enhance the spelling (which is exactly how it's written).
>>
It's not that hard.
Pronunciation is with hard C/K in Greek, Germanic, Slavic, classical Latin, possibly more. Arguably this is the original form, and Latin experienced a sound shift to soft C, adopted also into French, where English borrowed the word from. Modern pronunciation with hard C was then adopted because it doesn't sound so fucking lispy and gay.

>people who pronounce "Celtic" as "Keltic"

I don't know about in the other Celtic languages, but in Gaidhlig the word 'Celt' and its derivatives are pronounced either with a hard C (similar to Keltic in English) or with a Ch (same sound as the ch in 'loch', or 'reich') depending on the word (pluralisation in Gaidhlig turns C into Ch, so Ceiltach [Celt] becomes Cheiltich [Celts]), never with an S sound.

Hi there readdit
>>
>>2547882
Wouldn't it be pronounced Keltic? The soft C would be an Anglicization like what happened to Caesar.
>>
>>2555811
You mean a francisation.
>>
>>2555814
Unsure desu. Phonology is not my forte. All I really know is that Latin used a hard C which would make it Keltik over Seltik. I had assumed other Romance languages would evolve the same way, but the only Romance language I dabble in is Spanish y mi Espanol es mal.
>>
>>2555825
Old English words have hard Cs, the soft C came from French, as did the pronunciation rules on Cs (or rather historically, the spelling rules on whether to use a C or an S or a K).
>>
>>2555836
TIL. The thing that bothers me most about modern english is the lack of Germanic accent marks.

Celts are black. Any other statement is white devil revision.
