Hey Kees!

 KvE> Your old-english tag lines look like Celtic to me.

I don't believe Celtic types had a written language.  I believe it was the Romans that introduced the then locals in the British Isles to the written word ... except the Scots who resisted so Hadrian built a wall to keep the Picts isolated.  After that it was the Anglo-Saxons who took up the cause of the written word in that part of the world (~500AD-ish).

 KvE> I think if you want to hear old Dutch, Zuidafrikaans may be
 KvE> nearer

I'll check it out when I get a chance but it seems to me I did run across something about it when researching old English.

Life is good,
Maurice
