Immediately, Boudicca's army turned to the largest city in the British Isles, Londinium (London). Thus those coastal peoples as a whole would have a somewhat darker complexion, which could explain why the Welsh can tend to have some darker features. This is a tabloid "article" posing as an informed piece of writing. Nobody knows where "Ictis" was located. Not being an expert in Demography or Genetics, I just wanted to remark that there is a megalithic culture that spreads through Iberia, West of France and the British Islands, which is specific of western Europe, and whose origen could be related to people migrations, maybe accompanying a softening of climatic conditions after the last glaciation (probably, nobody lived in the British Isles 12.000 to 10.000 years ago). Maria. It is believed that it was shipped from Padstow to St Malo, both of which have fine natural harbours. Queen of the Iceni, a tribe in East England, she led a rebellion against Roman occupation in about 60 C.E.
English:Window, Danish: Vindue, Norwegian: Vindu vs. Swedish: Fönster, German: Fenster, French: Fenêtre, **Latin: Fenestra) tells me that the culture of the Northern Germanic peoples was deeply ingrained. The geographical distribution of individual gene lines is analysed with respect to their position on a gene tree, to reconstruct their origins, dates and routes of movement. So, why do roman-biased historians continue to assert that this connection between seven nations is not real, just because it wasn't fully realized until a few hundred years ago? Please note I only used Ireland as an example as I know Ireland best. It is likely that the Belgae were Brythonic, as it is plausible that their tribe's name is related to Welsh 'balch' ('proud', maybe 'brave' in much earlier Welsh); which would explain why J. Caesar tells us they were 'horum omnium fortissimi', the bravest of all these, i.e. They travelled by ship to the East Coast of England across the North Sea. And there are in the island five nations; English, Welsh (or British) (2), Scottish, Pictish, and Latin. I know it is slightly off message, but does anybody have any views on this interesting paper? To use the the term "Scotland" for anything much before the 9th century BCE has little meaning - centuries after the migrants from "Ireland", "England" and "Norway" started to arrive and millennia after the hunter-gatherers inched their way up the coast of Western Europe from the Basque refuge. The study’s other remarkable findings included: – There are more genetic differences between North and South Wales than between Kent and Scotland. The languages and dialects spoken by all the different peoples and tribes of pre-Roman Britain cannot be known for definite, beyond 'all reasonable doubt' so to speak. Who knows when Scandinavian influences came in after all Britain had been trading with northern Europe for thousands of years. The Basques were the first explorers too, known as the Vanir(the vikings considered them gods) to the Vikings n settled America n many places many thousands of years before the Vikings did. Actually,away the dna side of things, VERY recent isotope testing on a bones from a bronze age ritual site in Kent has shown a mix of native born people, Iberians and Scandinavians. Genetically speaking there are large differences between the so called Germanic peoples (a linguistic grouping more than anything) - North Germanic (surely Nordic is much more understandable), North Sea Germanic, or Ingvaeonic (mixture of Atlantic Celt & Nordic gene pools), Weser-Rhine Germanic, or Istvaeonic (mixture of (North) Western European gene pool (R1b...) & more Slavic to the east(R1a...)), Elbe Germanic, or Irminonic (a very much more mixed gene pool - North coast mostly Slavic / East German), East Germanic confusingly covers most of present day Poland & has a prodominantly Western- Slavic gene pool) and in His own good time.We leave our Basque brothers in the Pyrenees til? Good day all, Having different genotypes in this population (dark and light features) they reconquered much of western europe after the ice sheets retreat, including the isles (which were not yet isolated by the sea). 3. It seems that at some point in their journey west, the Saxons resided in the region of Nagorno Karabakh between the rivers of Araxes and Kur. If Castile and, by extension the rest of Spain, is removed from its Basque substrate, it reduces to nothing ... But they aren't.

There is another form of verbs, known as the "short form", or "inflected form", in which endings - inflections - are added to the root of the dictionary form of the verb. Today this is in Germany, but until 1870 it was in Denmark. Even so, it is equally likely that some eastern Belgic tribes were either Celticized Germanics or vice versa. Also - I loved Partridge's comment of July 26, 2011. This is consistent with the idea of the original Britons being CELTS who spoke a CELTIC tongue. For the first time on possible relationship between armenian name Pask and etnoname of basque has indicated bay Nikolayos Marr.

But my understanding is that the ruling elite tended to speak and write Norman French amongst themselves. Oppenheimer dismisses myths of Anglo-saxon origins very quickly claiming its all welsh propaganda, yet he seizes on the words of Tacitus and Julius Caesar, whom many would consider more unreliable than Gildas-Bede etc. Just had a quick glimpse at the article. However Eduard is a noted expert on this subject so I will defer.. Brits resemble the traits of southern folks rather than northern. But then you go and answer me in - what I'd call - a no fair way, because you are replying me, but referring to other things. Welsh is full of Latin borrowings yet Anglo-Saxon - which according to Oppenheimer flourished in the most romanised part of Britain - doesn't. (Just agreeing with the person defending Oppenheimer's use of the word "England"): Almost as if, when Rome chose to leave Britain, all "roman" DNA left too. @James Ensor: About red hair. Latin was the language of the scholar. At the arrival of the Franks Flanders was very sparsely populated (marshes in the west, heath in the east), so they became the majority; in the south (Wallonia) the already heavily romanized original Celts (Belgae) remained the majority, which gave rise to the present language border (which has shifted a little to the north since then). have the original European language & the most rh-blood? One wonders whether Der Spiegel has a correspondent in Greece? They will prefer Africa… The Portugal that Brits know better (Algarve) is more different and people have darker skin… but the Algarve population accounts only with 3% of the total and the whole south with 8%. As would be expected, publication of the books has caused highly negative reaction of supporters of traditional approaches in linguistics.The Campaign against Kerst had been led by Maye, famous french linguist and one of the founders of modern linguistics. And that this linguistic heritage carried through and beyond the Roman occupation so that the cultural cauldron within which English finds its point of orignation is a combination (a synthesis) of this Belgic Germanic (or Belgic Brythono-Germanic) legacy and the language of the Western Germanic cousins coming to the south and east of the land in the 5th and 6th centuries. Those natives received through the centuries many immigrants from other parts of Europe, Asia and even Africa, changing their genetic makeup to some extent, and creating different variations.
