Who are the modern Celts?
Some people are of the opinion that modern Celts are only those who speak a Celtic language while still others believe that a Celt must have been born in a country that is traditionally considered Celtic or where Celtic languages were once spoken and yet others believe that anyone who descends from people who lived in a traditionally Celtic area are Celtic by ethnicity. There are those who are of the opinion that the term Celt only can be used to refer to the linguistically and culturally related Iron-Age people to which the term was originally applied. It is generally the opinion of members of Comhaltacht Draiocht that anyone who sincerely honors the traditions, history and ways of Celtic cultures and who chooses to self identify as a modern Celt should be politely accepted as such.
