Technically the English are a Germanic people, yet they are quite mixed. Your basic English person is firstly derived of a combination of the Angle and Saxon tribes, who mixed it up around northern Germany and Denmark, hence Anglo-Saxon. During the beginning stages of the dark ages the Anglo-Saxons made it across the channel and began to conquer the Britonic peoples, who were fully Celt. In the great human tradition they mixed it up and were now a further hybrid. Then the Normans came along (who were Norsemen who had settled in northern France), overran England yet eventually faded away because of mixing. Then there are also strains of Norwegian from the Vikings coming through, as well as Roman from when Britain was a Roman province. The Welsh, Scottish and Irish either remained free of invading armies or did not mix too much with anyone, therefore they are considered purely Celtic. Gaelic is the language group of the Celts (mostly the United Kingdom/Ireland these days), much like Nahua is the language group of the Natives of Meso-America. The Celts are considered the fathers of Europe and are derived from a mixture of Indo-European invaders (from Eurasia/northern India) and indigenous/original Europeans (extinct except in the case of the Basques), who then split off into far-flung and varying tribal groups separate from cultures such as the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans. The French and modern Italians are also quite mixed, but are Celtic-based, as are the English. And technically, Germanic and Romantic peoples are Celtic derived, but they split off as distinct groupings during the Roman Empire.
