Here under, a link to a "study" about Slavs in Gallia.
Very approximative linguistic and surprising affirmations about the complete split between insular Celtic and Gaulish.
That said, some things in Grigoryev could show some Slavic or at least late steppic imputs in Eastern Gallia.
&: aside; for me, Nemeti wore a celtic nme, not a germanic name.

I leave you savouring the "menu", and I think someones will laugh until to break their guts.

Many thanks for sharing this, Moesan, it definitely gave me a really good laugh! :laughing:

I find it noteworthy that there's no regular correspondences with the supposed "slavic" forms whatsoever. They also readily ignore how names are actually spelled in classical sources: For example they intentionally misspell the "Petrocorii" as "Petrogorii", while they're consistently spelled with a "c" (or a Kappa in Greek), never with "g" in classical sources - in order to invoke a similarity with the Slavic word "gora" (mountain, hill).

Actually, the name "Petrocorii" can be readily explained as Celtic: *petro- ("four", see Welsh "pedwar", Irish "ceithre") and *korjo- ("troop", "army", see Old Irish "cuire", and for more distant cognates, German "Heer" and Gothic "harjiz").

As for Slavomania, I think the paper you posted the link to is actually related to this movement:

I think you need to know that gaulish tribes was in southern Germany in BC times before southern germany became Germanic in AD times.
IMO, gaulish people had a gaulish language and the gaulish touching the Germanics in northern germany created the celtic tongue, this celtic then spread south along gaulish tribes replaing old-gaulish.


and
Wends - the HRE noted there was no wends outside its borders and since the HRE occupied only 10% of Poland , this would indicate that the wends ( a word created in the 7th century AD ) must have meant modern czech and old east-germanic people ( lusitans maybe )

Concerning the first part of your post: in linguistics, there is no split between 'gaulish' and celtic' because 'celtic' is used as a hat name for all close languages of the family, even if inaccurate concerning detailed ethnicity. Brittonic languages were close to gaulish or Gallia celtic (no interprete in Gauls Brittons relations in Roman reports) even if later we see a difference in syntax. I knew (I'm old enough to do it) "Gllic" or "Celtic" tribes occupied the three quarters of Germany and the half of the Netherlands before the Germanics expansion. And I don't know but think Belgae were more Celtic than everything else, except some true Germanics tribes could have taken some lands at their expanse before the great expansion. I'm even still not convinced Cimbri were germanic!
We know little about possible Qw- dialects in Gallia but the bulk of the dialects were P- celtic, close to Brittonic.
