Celtic studies

Celtic studies is an academic field focused on the history, languages, cultures, and societies of the Celtic peoples, who originated in Iron Age Europe. It explores Celtic languages like Irish, Welsh, and Breton, as well as mythology, art, literature, and historical developments. This multidisciplinary area helps us understand the shared heritage and unique identities of Celtic nations, both past and present. Researchers use linguistic analysis, archaeology, and literary studies to piece together how Celtic cultures evolved, their influence on Europe, and their ongoing cultural significance.
