I haven't really been following this, but I gather she wouldn't be at all
impressed. I think the best you'd get is a curt "don't harass me"; or maybe a
"what a waste of time: why don't you idiots study Gaelic before it dies
entirely?"

It can't hurt. I rather doubt she'd even have the imagination to realise what she's looking at.

Arvorec, man! Aredos, as I recall, is an ancient IE language somewhat reminiscent of
Latin. Haven't heard much about it recently, though.

"Norman British"? I rather think that oughtn't be said in hearing of an Arvoric
speaker. They went over when the Franks arrived on the scene, and so are
neither Normen nor British. They are, in fact, Gauls.

No one has yet claimed Man; but I suspect it's Kemrese. Or at least, hotly
contested over the centuries. It seems too good to let the Scots have it, since
it's nicely placed midway between Kemr and her first colony (Ireland).
