Com Seangan: I'm afraid you didnt understand my post at all. Are you by any chance American? (I ask that because I admit my post was heavily ironic, and some people claim that Americans dont understand that).
   What I was saying was that many people (mainly English, like the prolific poster earlier) keep referring to the Celtic languages as dead, but I was pointing out that these irritating Celts, even if clever English people tell them they are dead, still refuse to lie down. I am absolutely delighted that these languages survive, and I hope they will for ever.
