the reason that some people think of the celts as being like meds is because there was an invasion of celts into iberia in like the 5th century and maintained some elements of celtic culture
Yes
then this group later invaded the isles
so there are some of these types in like
wales
In Ireland**
and ireland, yes
<@305516252904816640> looks more like light latin than nordic lol, chris did show actual Germanic Italians
They are actually the majority in Ireland
5th century BC I should say
I'm pretty sure the Welsh are Brythonic though, not Gaelic
ye they're brythonic
Gaelic being the Celts from the Mediterranean
u sure
Brythons being the Celts from the Rhine
brythonics look more med to me
than gaels
I know there's an iberian component to the modern Cornish
idk about the welsh proper
The English are Brythonic
So are the Scots
Except for the Shetlanders and Orkney Islanders who are basically Scandinavians LARPing as Celts
i mean the non English in Britain do have like 1-2% spaniard dna kek
the english are like 30% germanic (Angles, Jutes, Saxons)
and idk what percentage norwegian and danish
Very little Scandinavian
english are majority celtic thoo
yes i am sad
english are germano celtic
then there's the norman component
The highest concentrations of Germanic DNA among the English are in East Anglia (Angles, Saxons, Jutes) and Yorkshire (Scandinavians)
normans are celtoids <:basedmama:396156349676781569>
but the brythonic element is not really distant to the germanic or scandinavian components anyway
In most of England though, Germanic DNA is negligible or non-existent
