i don't think speakers/learners of majority languages realise how non-politicised their languages are?? or maybe that's the wrong word bc everything is politicised to some degree in some way whether people realise it or not i think. but there were students from the modern foreign languages department (so english speakers learning italian/french/spanish/german) complaining bc "how dare our lecturer bring politics into the classroom" but like. as a speaker and learner of multiple minority languages it feels weird and wrong that politics wouldn't be brought into lessons?? like the act of speaking and learning welsh is inherently political whether i want it to be or not. learning celtic languages means having to learn about all the politics surrounding the languages and their histories and erasure. and obviously languages like english and french and spanish etc are political too, but in a different way. but majority language speakers learning other majority languages don't seem to realise this?? at least in my experience. idk how to word this.

I love Gaulish because like half of the very limited surviving corpus is really wild shit, like witches cursing rival groups of witches, and people sending girls sexts written on drop spindle whorls

absurd to me how much acceptance there is for "Insular Celtic" as a clade in the Celtic family tree rather than a sprachbund
