The Keltic Cultures and Languages of Europe

Kelt is a term used to describe the Celtic-speaking peoples of Europe, particularly those living in the British Isles and Brittany. The word "Kelt" is derived from the Latin word "Celtae," which was used by the ancient Romans to refer to the Celtic-speaking peoples they encountered during their conquests of Gaul (modern-day France) and Britain.

The Keltic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family, and include languages such as Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Breton, and Cornish. These languages are spoken by approximately 10 million people in the British Isles, Brittany, and other parts of Europe.

The term "Kelt" is not commonly used in modern times, and has largely been replaced by the term "Celtic" to refer to the cultures and languages of the Celtic-speaking peoples. However, the word "Kelt" can still be found in some historical and linguistic contexts, particularly in reference to ancient Celtic cultures and languages.
