Celtic?
- phaemon 7y agoYes, Celtic. The Celts were mostly on mainland Europe at that time. You can find more details in that most scholarly work, Asterix the Gaul
- nickserv 7y agoAlso in Caesar's book about his campaigns in Gaul (oddly enough there is no account of a tribe with a magic potion): https://pages.ucsd.edu/~dkjordan/arch/romans/BelloGallico1.html https://pages.ucsd.edu/~dkjordan/arch/romans/BelloGallico1.h...
- cmrdporcupine 7y agoIf you consider there was a rather short chronological and linguistic difference between Celtic languages proper and the Italo-Celtic family which included both Celtic and Italic languages (and languages that were inbetween like Liguarian) ... most of Europe is _still_ Italo-Celtic. The Italic language Vulgar Latin displaced Celtic languages everywhere except the British Isles and Brittany. But it may not have been a hard language for the native Gauls to learn.
