@caitlinrgreen@andyblueskyz Oh blimey Doctor! Mr Oppenheimer was a tad sniffy about the linguists! -
@Tweets2CV@andyblueskyz lol, well, I'm inter-disciplinary ;) but srsly, it's an idea, but not one that has commanded much support, yet :) -

@caitlinrgreen@Tweets2CV Caesar also said the Brits spoke same language as South of channel who were Belgae..eg Flemish similar to English. -
@andyblueskyz Yes he said Celts called themselves Celts! French Gallic! Belgea more Germanic! Gallic Celts ran West & Germanic tribes east! -
@Tweets2CV Yes he clearly split people by language as he has basques as separate in South W Gaul, so reliable source. -
@andyblueskyz I scour all finds on the west (Roman Saxon Shore Coast) for Celtic preRoman finds! Verh few. Germanic Germanic Saxon, Viking -
@Tweets2CV Also many are sceptical English evolved from Angle which was a very different Scandinavian language.Beowulf is a foreign language -
@Tweets2CV Angle kings were invader aristocracy similar to Norman French kings. English always substrate language.
