This “Classical Gaulish handbook” aims to be a collection of knowledge acquired about the language of the Gauls. The word “Gaulish” is taken, in a broad sense, to mean the language spoken by Central Continental Celts – that is to say, outside the British and Irish Isles, Italian Alps, and Iberia. However, some parts of this work are broadened to cover all the regions that were occupied at some point by Celtic speakers. Regarding onomastics, which is by far the richest material available, it appears that certain names identified as Celtic are characteristic of Central Europe, while others are specific to the British or Irish Isles. Perhaps both were also used in Gaul, but it is likely that important differences separated the various Celtic dialects in ancient times, as they do today.
