Linguists start compiling first ever complete dictionary of ancient Celtic More than 1,000 words used as far back as 325BC to be collected for insight into past linguistic landscape It is not likely to be a hefty volume because the vast majority of the material has been lost in the mists of time. But the remnants of a language spoken in parts of the UK and Ireland 2,000 years ago are being collected for what is being billed as the first complete dictionary of ancient Celtic. The dictionary will not be huge because relatively few words survive, but experts from Aberystwyth University say they expect they will end up with more than 1,000 words. Continue reading...

Today our students had to endure the tortures of defining 'Celtic' - and having mentioned Celtic crosses, I went out later to search for a Celtic cross in the cemetery across the road from my office. And there it was, quite impressive - dedicated to a well-known Irishman of the 19th century

I could not resist the temptation to co-organize a workshop at the Freie Universität, even if doing so less than in a week after the conference in Bonn is a clear symptom of madness. And I really loved it – but it had to be a very short visit, so no interaction beside that with colleagues and a cat
