<snip>Wales is Cymru, and the language is Cymeric (if I remember the spellings
correctly), not Gaelic. The Irish are Gaels as are the Scots, who take their
name from the Scotia (sic?), a pack of Irish sea rovers who invaded Hibernia
about the time Julius Caesar landed in Britain.

But in modern linguistics all the "celtic" languages are lumped together as
Gaelic- welsh included. And I think originaly gael was an Irish word for
"stranger" and refered to the viking and other marauders.
