Continental Celtic is a different linguistic branch to Gaelic Celtic.
A similar theory has already been discussed and dismissed in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
To be honest, I don't think a Celtic language survived in Switzerland, and if it did, then perhaps it was in the mountainous regions. However, people there didn't have the resources to develop their own script and write it down. Personally, I'm thinking more of the Scottish monasteries in Switzerland and southern Germany. But that's all just pure speculation. A Hiberno English must be related to England. I have no doubt about that.
