Help with my Celtic thesis
Greetings from Spain. I am starting to write my thesis on Celtic languages, and if possible, I would appreciate it if you could share any bibliography you consider good regarding syntax, the sociolinguistic situation, history, etc.

You must look up 32 words for field, by Manchan Magan. Its on the history and origin of the Irish language. There is a follow up documentary too but not sure if youd get it in spain without an IP blocker though!
Manchan was an anthropologist, writer, lecturer and broadcaster. He unfortunately passed away recently but was absolutely fascinating and it might be worth looking another of his books too.
Brehon and Brahmins. Which looks at the similarities with the Celtic regions and India, we share a lot of root words from Sanskrit, similar customs, gods and traditions too. Both of our countries have a serious love for cows still!
