Of the 200 most commonly used words in english, a hundred and 83 of them come from the germanic language family. When we think of celtic culture, we typically think of places like scotland, ireland and wales. But these are mearly the modern remnants of a culture that once dominated most of europe. The ancient celts were the first iron age people of europe,. And they are often called the first masters of Europe. This included the celtic language, which had some, but relatively little impact on modern english.
