Abstract
It is argued that the emergence of a Celtic language in Ireland was the culmination of a long process of social and economic interaction at an elite level between Ireland and Britain, and between these islands and adjacent parts of Continental Europe. Celticization in western Europe, becoming Celtic-speaking, was a Bronze Age process.
