| In some cases, as with Celtiberian, Galatian, Gaulish, Lepontic, Cumbric, and others, it is already too late. |
|
| Some of the forms of Continental Celtic have been partially reconstructed, including Gaulish, Celtiberian and Lepontic. |
|
| Galatian and Lepontic were spoken in Europe from France To Turkey while Celtiberian was spoken in the Iberian Peninsula. |
|
| In any case, we know Celtiberian was already being spoken in Spain in the 6th century BC, and that it shares many similarities with the Goidelic branch. |
|
| Most scholars today agree that Celtiberian was the first to branch off from the remaining Celtic languages. |
|
| There, they suffered their first defeat, not at the hands of a Roman army, but against a Celtiberian coalition. |
|
| The latter can be seen as a survival from an earlier stage in the language, very much like the more archaic Celtiberian language. |
|
| It seems likely that Celtiberian split off before Cisalpine Celtic, but the evidence for this is not robust. |
|
| Gaulish is paraphyletically grouped with Celtiberian, Lepontic, and Galatian as Continental Celtic. |
|
| Although some complete sentences are recorded in Gaulish and Celtiberian, the oldest Celtic literature is found in Old Irish. |
|
| The eccentrically mounted handle of the rotary handmill which appeared in 5th century BC Celtiberian Spain and ultimately spread across the Roman Empire constitutes a crank. |
|
| The process of Celticisation of the southwestern area of the peninsula by the Keltoi and of the northwestern area is, however, not a simple Celtiberian question. |
|
| Together with Lepontic and the Celtiberian language spoken in the Iberian Peninsula, Gaulish forms the geographic group of Continental Celtic languages. |
|
| Seneca and Lucan were from Hispania, as was the later epigrammatist and keen social observer Martial, who expressed his pride in his Celtiberian heritage. |
