Should I show her Maggel? After all Irish is a strong influence on it ;))) .
But then it may convince her even more that we are evil ;)))) ...

Well, truly Celtic based conlangs I know only one, but can't remember the name
(is it Aredos? It's spoken in the Norman-British Isles in Ill Bethisad IIRC).
But Romance conlangs with a strong Celtic substrate are indeed well-known (the
so-called "Brito-Romance" branch of the Romance languages that exist in Ill
Bethisad). I know about Brithenig, Kernu and Breathanach (with Welsh, Cornish
and Irish substrate respectively. I don't know of any Romance language with a
Manx or Scottish Gaelic substrate ;))))) ).
