Doireann's theory of Lepontic/Cisapline Celtic
#23
From my reading and understanding of the history of the Celtic languages, the continental Celtic languages lie on a different linguistic branch to either Gaelic or to Brittonic ( Welsh, Breton ). Gaelic split away some distant time in the past and formed its own language group. A Welsh speaker and a Gaelic speaker today would have difficulty understanding each other. If the Manuscript ( which we know was written on the continent ) was indeed in any of these languages it would probably be closer to Brittonic, this language group being the nearer.

Have you considered Welsh or Breton as a closer match?
