Are we saying the language groups are p-Celtic and q-Celtic or p-Gaelic and q-Gaelic? I have seen bith on the web. --rmhermen
The correct technical terms are definitely p-Celtic and q-Celtic. Since Gaelic is p-Celtic, there can be no such thing as q-Gaelic. Welsh is definitely not Gaelic but it is q-Celtic. Whereas speakers of Irish and Scots Gaelic will understand each other fairly well, neither of them will understand a Welsh speaker. The languages are as different as English and Dutch, both of which are Germanic languages. -- Derek Ross
