They are a Scandinavian Tribe of people. All the other tribes through history, immigrated from Asian Minor, and Africa into Europe, mostly referenced as the Celts there were main categories of the Celts.
1. The Continental Celts referenced as the Gaul's.
2. The Insular Celts referenced as the Britons or Picts
3. The Para-Celts referred as the Lusitanians from Iberian Peninsula.
And the from there you get into the Slavic and Russo tribes and it branches into hundred of different tribes that do not survive today at all. Honestly genetically they are all the same people, but culturally they are different and modern day countries and boundaries more actually reflect that.10 Reply

+1 yTribes began disappearing after the collapse of Rome. By the middle ages they had pretty much vanished in name. Now you might see references to a tribe if you visit an area but no one considers themselves a member.

@n4meal yeah all @chrismaster69 provide displayed to you is his amazing cut and paste skills because he can use the internet for other things other than social media. Google you should try it.
He just listed out 50 or more different tribes that all branched off from what would otherwise be considered Celtic tribes. - +1 y
And most tribes he listed are Briton Tribes would be linked to the indigenous Pict people of modern day Britain before the Saxon, then Danish (vikings) and later Norman Invasions. And Saxons... ding, ding, ding guess what? Were Celts.
Nobody really knows were Picts came from, but they were linked to the Druids, and Druids were eliminated by the Roman's. And even the Picts are linked to the Celts.
The Roman's were Greek or more accurate refuges from The Hellenistic Wars in Asia Minor... that fleed to modern day Italy and conquered the indigenous cents tribes... so one can argue even the Roman's were Celts. But they started as Trojans because there is linkage to Roman liniage to Troy.
The Dains were Celtics, and guess what... the Norman's, were Celtics to. Norman's were Conitinetal Celts, that were invaded by Vikings... thus the name Norman, as in North Men that occupied Brittany, also referred to as Normany, by treaty with Norman, Franks... and Frank's were guess what? Celtelic people from modern day France. You heard of Charlemagne, right? - +1 y
Nope, miles off. Picts were the original inhabitants of Scotland. They didn't so much disappear as drop the name as Christianity took hold. After Rome collapsed the west of Britain remained romanised for nearly 200 years and many migrated to Brittany hence the close similarly of welsh, cornish and Bretton.

There is a reason for that is down to Wessex as it was basically the main interaction between Cornwall and Wales.

@purplepoppy The Picts get a lot of historical notoriety because they held out against the Romans. But in fact they were just another Celtic Tribe that occupied Briton prior to the Roman invasions. As the Roman invaded the south most of the indigenous people either accepted Roman rule or fled North to present day Scotland.
Now the Picts people were already there, but they assimilated the roman refugees into their tribal grounds. The Romans never advanced past Hadrian's Wall so the Picts survived longer than most.
Now the Druids were Picts, and was more of a religion or some type of pagan priest hood than a tribe... but for the most part the Roman destroyed them. Yes some of Druids survived and some of their practices and belief can be found still in existence today... but for all intent an purposes the Romans destroyed the Druid powerbase and sent them into decline. A downward spiral, in which they never recovered form. So yes the Druid technically survived, but they no longer carried any real influence and thereby were destroyed.
The Picts where just another branch on the Celtic Tree who due to isolation managed to maintain their tribal sovereignty and identify longer than any other Celtic Tribe by out lasting most other tribal peoples. Which in large part contributed into century's of cultural conflicts between the Irish, Scots and English. - +1 y
@chrismaster69 actually modern day English is in large part is an adaptive langue that developed over time as a common langue because it incorporates or borrows from a lot of other languages. This in large part is due to it being a cross roads for maritime trade and peoples. Many assume English came with the Saxon invasions... but in reality it borrowed from Saxon words and assimilated them into the langue and later did the same with the Normans.
For example the German word for Cow is Kuh, and it in English Kuh is pronounced Cow. The French for Beef is Bouef, and in English it is pronounced as Beef. In English we say Pig, but in French it is Porc, and in German it is Schewien. In English we refer to pig as being pig, but we eat Pork and people are Swine's, when the act like pigs. In English we raise cows, we eat beef and breed cattle. Cattle origin is in French is Chatel and in Anglo- Norman is catel and in English is cattle.
This is the nature of English we adopt foreign words into our langue and that is why we have all these complicated grammar issues. English is always changing and evolving and words that are commonly thought of today as Proper English started as slang words 100's of years ago.
Prime example the use of the word Ain't... its in the Dictionary now so its a real word. But the origins of it goes back to the 1700's tot he Scots, as a form of "Am (I am) not" AIN"T --- almost like LOL or LMAO.
So truth is there is no such thing as proper English, because English is a very improper common tongue langue. And modern day Americans and Australians are taking it to a new level. - +1 y
@DaveJord I know how it feels to be mansplained
Who built the Antonine wall the Picts?
“Many assume English came with the Saxon invasion”
Yeah what about the Angles, that actually gave most of the words
bamburghbones.org/.../
by the way the Angles language was called - Englisc
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angles
The majority of England was at one time under control of the Angles.
Wessex n Sussex being the main exceptions (west n south Saxons). - +1 y
The Romans did advance past hadrians wall, there's another wall
Much further north. Secondly the Romans were invited over by one of the southern tribes, most southern tribes were already pretty pro Rome, it was the troublesome north that caused the problems.
Scotland and Wales were pretty much left alone by the saxons due to their hands being tied by constantly fighting the vikings.
Interesting titbit, Dyfed in Wales is derived from the Demetae and remained in use until 2008. It was scrapped because it confused the postal service but we still get post with it as the address. - +1 y
@purplepoppy The Vikings never appeared in England prior to 793 AD... Rome fell in 410 AD and the Western Empire fell in 476. Romans never battled the Vikings in Britain... for the most part the Romans had withdrew from Britain by 410 AD.
The Vikings lacked the technology or ability to navigate in the open ocean and very dangerous North Sea until the late 8th century. And the Romans never advanced past the Rhine on the main continent so they they never reached far enough North to come in contact with the Vikings.
I do stand corrected on Hadrian's wall though, there was an earth fortification or earthen wall Antonina wall but it was abandoned only after 8 eights and Hadrian's Walls was the main boundary. I forgot about that good call... but still never reach as far North as modern day Scotland. - +1 y
@ChrisMaster69 Correct and who were the Saxons? Not English. Many assume the Saxons came from modern day Czech but there is some debate over that, for most part it is commonly accepted that the Saxons came form Northern Germany.
The Antonine Wall I do have to stand corrected but it was mostly earthen works and not technically a wall and it was abandoned with in 8 eights of being constructed. But I did for get about it honestly.
As far as the Angle, or Anglo- Saxons were member of a Germanic people, which, together with the Jutes, Saxons, and probably the Frisians, invaded the island of Britain in the 5th century AD. The Angles gave their name to England, as well as to the word Englisc, used even by Saxon writers to denote their vernacular tongue.
So my main point is about the formation of English as a languish is that it was not indigenous to Britain. It came for Saxons who in on of themselves where not Britons.

I said the saxons, not the Romans fought the vikings. It was the split between the germanic east and the romanised west that eventually led to the creation of Wales. Even though welsh isn't a romance language it borrows heavily from vulgar Latin. English is much more a mishmash of languages which is why its so hard to learn.
