The Gaels

How similar were the Gaelic tribes to the Brythonic tribes? Stories such as Tristan and Isseult offer a clue that there was a cultural overlap, moreover there is linguistic evidence for a language area in this part of the world at the time that would suggest bilingualism and trade.

What are some good texts about the history of the Gaelic tribes? I'm particularly interested in culture, religion and literature more so than the military history.

        That's probably false. According to MacBain it's from root ghâdh, Eng. good, Ger. gut so Gaidel means "good men" or Stokes says it means "goat men". Remember. All of this is guessing. None of it has proof.

          Borrowed from Irish Gael, alt. Gaol, from earlier Gaoidheal, cognate with Scottish Gaelic Gàidheal and Manx Gael, from Middle Irish Gaídel, from Old Irish Goídel (“Irishman”), a loanword from Old Welsh Guoidel (“wild man, warrior”) (also recorded as a personal name in the Book of Llandaff), from Proto-Brythonic *guɨðel (“savage, woodsman”), from Proto-Celtic *wēdelos (“savage, woodsman”), related to *wēdus (“wild”), from Proto-Indo-European *weydʰ- (“wood, wilderness”) (cf. Old English wāþ (“hunt”)).[1] Doublet of Goidel, unrelated to Gaul or Gallia.

          Literally not true. Ogham was an indigenous writing system that you can find in many of the great works of Ireland, such as the book of Kells.

          • 2 years ago
            Anonymous

            It appears that the ogham alphabet was modelled on another script,[12] and some even consider it a mere cipher of its template script (Düwel 1968:[13] points out similarity with ciphers of Germanic runes). The largest number of scholars favours the Latin alphabet as this template,[14][15] although the Elder Futhark and even the Greek alphabet have their supporters.[16] Runic origin would elegantly explain the presence of "H" and "Z" letters unused in Irish, as well as the presence of vocalic and consonantal variants "U" vs. "W", unknown to Latin writing and lost in Greek (cf. digamma). The Latin alphabet is the primary contender mainly because its influence at the required period (4th century) is most easily established, being widely used in neighbouring Roman Britannia, while the runes in the 4th century were not very widespread even in continental Europe.

            kek it also appears exactly around the time ireland was colonised by monks.

        hes right about the second part even ir*sh accept that "celtic" culture was really just Brythonic and migrated to both Gaul and Ir*land. It was the origin of the druids that were wiped out in Gaul.

          Except Irish mythology is distinct from Brythonic mythology, there is no Brythonic Fionn mac Cumhaill. ASF on the other hand believes the Fenian cycle was plagiarised from the Ossian cycle, rather than the other way around.
