Since the Irish are a Celtic people and the folks of England are Saxon.....the answer is no.

Its certainly logical, but I dont think there would be many takers ;)

"Since the Irish are a Celtic people and the folks of England are Saxon" Can't agree with you there Albany - England was very much Celtic country, along with just about all the rest of Europe.

one of the most sacred celtic places and the heart of the ancient celtic empire/federation is the island of angelsea(sp?) in northern wales. even today great britain is home to 3 of the five major celtic languages spoken within wales, scotland and cornwall.

Damnit... I thought we had pacified Cornwall by now...

Ha ha ha theres still a few (and i mean like 4 or 5) mad old men who insist on an independant cornwall or kernow(sp) as they call it, they have their own party and everything - i mean if most people think an independat scotland is highly unlikely then what are they thinking.

Yimmy For those of us who are Celtic we recognize the Seven Nations of Ecosse (Scotland), Brittany, Cymru (Wales), Eire, Isle of Man, Galicia and Kernow (Cornwall). England is not part of that. In fact the Anglo-Saxons drove what few Celts were left in what is now England out to the periphery. So, no, we do not consider the English Celtic. In fact in we Celts refer to the inhabitants of England as rhe Sassanach….not one of the people of the Seven Nations. All of that said, GO LIONS!!!

Liver, As a descendant of the fine folk of Cornwall (plus a bunch of Irish) I was curious to hear you refer to Cornish as a living language. I thought it had died out some time in the C19th. Did it survive in some isolated smuggler community or mining town, or has it been revived by new generations.

as far as ive heard there has been a twentieth century revival by the nationalists, i doubt it is particuarly widely spoken though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernow - there is a bried mention of it here

England is named after the Angles - Angle Land - so england technicaly isnt celtic. However Britain contains several celtic nations as well as the fact that there are large numbers of celtic decendants within England - Jones second must common name etc.
