Celtic Nations

 The Term Celtic Nation refers to any of the six traditional Celtic regions which includes, Brittany,Cornwall, Scotland, Ireland,Wales and the isle of Man.They all have have similar cultural traits like having a native Celtic Language. The culture of the Celtic People is Celebrated In festivals such as The Festival Interceltique de Lorient In Brittany, and the Pan Celtic Festival in Ireland.

The Celtic Countries all have a native Celtic Language, they are divided into two Groups which includes Goidelic (Manx,Irish,Scottish Gaelic) and Brythonic  (Cornish,Breton,Welsh) , Some of these languages have declined over the past century and have been oppressed in the past. Efforts are now been made to "restore" these languages and encourage non-native speakers to learn them.Some Celtic Languages are spoken in the Americas, where they were brought there by Scottish,Irish and Welsh Immigrants.

Cooperation between  Celtic Nations is encouraged by organisations such as the Celtic Congress and the Celtic league and they are many sporting events between the Celtic Nations.

First of Feb and belgium

Hey There. It is I The Irish Messiah, okay just kidding. I'm just taken some time to write in this blog because there's nothing else to do at this time unfortunately. The weather here in Ireland has been pretty windy and wet, is it a good thing ? or a bad thing ? well at least its keeps the grass green, it makes Ireland the Emerald Isle.I find it incredible that some people like to visit countries where the weather is different, Weather is quite an attractive force, people in hot climates like to visit cold places and people in cold places like visit hot places.Anyway today is the first of February or Called "Saint st Bridget's day" here in Ireland.It signals the start of Spring which is a sign of rebirth and awakening.The Cold of winter will Disappear shortly.I'm Pretty excited for tomorrow as Ireland will play in the 6 nations rugby union tournament against Scotland, I hope it will be a great match !. Also recently I've been reading about Belgium, It is a country that captivates me so much, especially the fact that in one part of the country ,The Flemish region they speak dutch or "Flemish" , and in the southern Area of Belgium called "Wallonia"they speak mainly french. I know that the linguistic differences have caused political turmoil and maybe Some Belgians don't consider themselves "Belgian" because they seem themselves as different from the other.below is some pictures of Beautiful Belgium. P.S any Belgians reading please get in contact I want to know more !
