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?
How do we know that the VM was written on the continent ? What if it was written in middle-east ?
