Page "Celtic music" Paragraph 8

There is also tremendous variation between Celtic regions.

Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany have living traditions of language and music, and there has been a recent major revival of interest in Wales, Cornwall and the Isle of Man.

Galicia has a Celtic language revival movement to revive the Q-Celtic Gallaic language used into Roman times.

Most of the Iberian Peninsula had a similar Celtic language in pre-Roman times.

A Brythonic language was used in parts of Galicia and Asturias into early Medieval times brought by Britons fleeing the Anglo-Saxon invasions via Brittany.

The current Romance language spoken, Galego, has many words of Celtic origin and is the ancestor of the Portuguese language used mainly in Brazil and Portugal.

Galician music is claimed to be Celtic.

The same is true of the music of Asturias, Cantabria, and that of Northern Portugal ( some say even traditional music from Central Portugal can be labeled Celtic ).
