Scots as Israelites??

[wild-in-tent]

Lol! I do think you are right as even the Romans spoke Latin. Latin came from Ladino, a language spoken by Celts in Italy. It was a mixture of the Spanish Hebrew (Sephardic) and Gaelic...so I must say that when the Irish revolted could it be because of their butchery of our language? Bwaahahahaha!
Just kidding....and I think that the Irish are simply going ahead to prepare the way for the rest of the Celts coming after us....and a) I don't know where we are fleeing to and I don't think the rest do either lol! and b) If our men are leading we are lost already..so rather than follow blindly I suggest you send out a search party.the Irish were always called a fey people...fey means doomed lol!....

All in all: in my humble opinion , the Galater may have influenced the middle east, the Celtiberers left their mark on the Romans, and the Romans left their marks on all affected European tribes for sure, and kist let the Irish be what they are, a people moving out of the threatened cradle of Celts.[/quote]

Latin came from Ladino, a language spoken by Celts in Italy. It was a mixture of the Spanish Hebrew (Sephardic) and Gaelic

Latin was developed by early settlers in the Latium province of Italy- the home to Etruscans and later, the Romans. The script of Latin is heavily borrowed and eventually mutated Greek and Phoenician. It shows some influence( some borrowed words and phonology) from the Celtic population of the Northern Italy but was not their language or derivation from it.

Ladino was an old fashioned version of Spanish spoken by the Sephardic Jews and the language of the
Gaels in the Po River Valley. In fact there were many forms of the language spoken by many Celtic tribes in Turkey, Romania, etc...see Indo European and Rhaetic languages...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladino_language

Latin from where you got your info says in this section that the Latins were an indo european tribe
At the same time that the latest Indo-European tribes were moving into Greece, closely related tribes invaded many other regions, including what would someday be Italy. Among these were the peoples we now call the Latins, who settled in (what we now call) Latium. Initially, they were seen as weak newcomers, a sort of instant underclass, by most of the people of the native city-states.

and that the Latin alpabet that Etruscans used came originally from Greece and the Rhaetic languages...which the Romanians also derived their language from...note Romanians were the Daci Celts from Iran....so

I wasn't needing help , I Just wondered what you sources were .
Not in the links that you posted then huh ?

I think that the answer to question ''Scots as Israelites??'' is No.
Just another version of the British Israelite fantasy .
