Nationes Celticae sunt terrae in Europa Septentrionali et Occidentali ubi incolae linguis Celticis loquuntur moresque Celticas conservant.[1]

Sex Nationes Celticae secundum Foedus Celticum:      Hibernia      Scotia      Insula Monopiae      Cambria      Cornubia      Britannia Minor

Sex terrae nationes Celticas esse dicentes sunt Britannia Minor (Breizh), Cornubia (Kernow), Hibernia (Éire), Insula Monopiae (Mannin), Scotia (Alba), Cambria (Cymru).[1][2] Quaque harum regionum unam linguam Celticam propriam habet.[3] Praeterea, regiones Hispaniae boreoccidentalis, praesertim Gallaecia, Cantabria, et Asturiae, aliquando Celtica dicuntur, ob culturam unicam regionis. Nihilominus, nemo lingua Celtica hic loquitur.[4][5][6] Ante expansiones Rei Publicae Romanae et tribuum Germanicarum, magna pars Europae Celtica erat.[7]

  8. Note: The flag of the Republic of Ireland is used by the Republic of Ireland itself, the Celtic League, Irish nationalists domestic and abroad, pan-Celticists generally, and even all-Ireland sports teams that include Northern Irish members, as the flag of Ireland as a whole. This usage is controversial to British Unionists and their supporters, and may be be seen as inflammatory by some neutral parties, but it nevertheless the common custom. A number of alternative flags have been suggested by various groups over many decades, the most common being a golden Celtic harp on a green background, but none are widely used in Irish or Celtic nationalism.
