This collection contains 13 papers presented in the workshop on the "The
Celtic Languages in Contact" organised by Hildegard L. C. Tristram at the
XIII International Celtic Congress in Bonn (Germany), July 23rd - 27th,
2007. The authors of two papers from another section also contributed their
papers to this volume, as they deal with closely related issues.
The time-span covered ranges from potential pre-historic contacts of Celtic
with Altaic languages or Nostratic cognates in Celtic, through the
hypothesis of Afro-Asiatic as a possible substrate for Celtic, Latin and
Gaulish contacts in Gaul, the impact of Vulgar Latin on the formation of the
Insular Celtic Languages as a linguistic area (Sprachbund), to various
contact scenarios involving the modern Insular Celtic languages as well as
English and French. The final paper reflects on the political status of the
modern Insular Celtic languages in the Europe of the 27 EU countries.
