Hey everyone! Just this Tuesday video this week as I’m away. Next week back to normal schedule! Enjoy!

Keltoi doesn't mean barbarian in Greek, though. Barbaros is the Greek word (hence barbarian in English). Keltoi means "those who are hidden"
Source: I am Greek.

"Who are the Britons?"
"We all are. We are Britons and I am your King."
"I didn't vote for you.'
"You don't vote for kings."

Imagine if the Welsh settled America to such an extent that their own language would be used rather than English.

[citiesskyscrapers]

The flag of Cornwall is really awesome.

[giuseppersa]

As a passionate historian of all things Celtic I really enjoyed your videos! Thanks

[bradjones]

The island of Britain in Welsh is Prydain :)

[rudhek]

I just want to point out that the "now" in Kernow is pronounced as "no", as the W isn't stressed.

[julianwong]

Yes we definitely need to appreciate Cornwall’s yummy pastries

[christopherellis]

No longer the language, but the Galicians in Iberia still have the music, and the pipes.

Please do:why Shqipëria is called Albania in English?

[robezy]

I love when explaining a name leads to more names that can be explained :D

A Greek mariner named Pithaeus sailed aroung the British Isles in the 4th century BC. He said that the natives called their island Pritaen. Descendants of those natives, the Britons or Welsh, still do, changed only slightly after 2000 years, we call it Prydain. P can sometimes become a B, e.g. o Brydain, from Britain.

What i find interesting about "Little Britain" being Brittany is that in Irish Gaelic, An Bhreatain Bheag corresponds to Wales but literally translates as The Little Britain

[DynDdoniol]

Takes a segment to appreciate the awesome flag or Cornwall, after glancing over Wales with their MUCH better flag

[AshArAis]

England/English in Irish is Sasana/sasanach, coming from Saxon most likely. Great Britain is Bhreatain Mhór. Scotland is Albain as gaeilge as well.

The Isle of Man's earliest name was Isle of Manannán, it's named after the Sea God of both the Brythonic and Gaelic Celts, and the Isle was said to have been his home.

Great video! However, Galicia in the northwest of Spain also has a strong Celtic influence too - they even play bagpipes! Worth a research and its a wonderful place

[WeyounSix]

As an american I love the episodes focussing on the british isles. Its all contributing factors to English. It makes sense that English word origin videos be related to England.

I love your videos Patrick!
Edit:Thx for the heart
