Why do some anglos say 'kelts' while others say 'selts' ?

Hard C is the people, soft C is the sports team.
>yes I do rape Gaelic women and force their children to speak Scots. How did you know?
>"kelts"
People who have been exposed primarily to classical latin.
>"selts"
People who have been exposed primarily to church latin.
"Kelt" is the correct way to say it, by the way.
My guess is that for a large amount of time over here no one ever said the word out loud and only read it. It probably only took one guy to introduce the concept in a class or something, probably was torn between the 2 pronunciations and consulted with his wife who said she preferred seltic. Strong hunch a woman was involved.
Interesting, thanks
That's with modern italian pronunciation, in latin it's kikero and kaesar
the celts were the ugliest and gayest looking warriors in history
I trust the Italians on that one, if they say it's pronounced with "k" then I'll believe. I don't trust non-Italian source on this matter.
>in latin it's kikero and kaesar
My middle school Latin teacher said "ch". Have I been living a lie?
There are two pronunciations of Latin, Classical which is reconstructed from descriptions of the language, poetry and misspellings of that time, and Ecclesiastical, which was invented by Italian monks because nobody knew how did the Romanians pronounce things
If it was kikero and kaesar, the modern version would be guigero and gaesar
Gurwa :DDDD
it's in wikipedia lads, come on
My ancestor :)
It's kelt, then during the time where french was the main language of olde English Selt was said. Then afterwards modern English started to evolve and it reverted back to kelt
Why don't you just ask the romanians? They live next to Hungary.
Nobody says "selts" when referring to the celtic people. Not a single person.
have sex, gay barbarian
awe true to gaesar :DDDD
the only time I've heard someone say "selt" referring to the celtic peoples and not the football club was a spam on the internet
You can tell it's fake because an ancient greek is pretending homosexuality was something shameful in ancient greece.
It's "ch" in modern/medieval pronounciation
It's "k" in classical latin
both are correct
Love Celts.
Being a bottom was.
Also
"ae" = "e" for modern, somewhat in between "ai" and "aë" for classical (similar stuff for "oe")
So "Caesar" would be "Chesar" for modern and "Kaïsar" for classical
Fuck Saxons.
based
one day bretons will MAKE ENGLAND CELTIC AGAIN
>tfwn celt gf
Life is suffering.
>others say 'selts'
Literally who says this?
FUCKING WRONG GOD I HATE YANKS SO FUCKING MUCH JUST DIE ALREADY HOW CAN YOU CASUALLY BE SO WRONG ALL THE TIME
This is the real answer, anything else is meme shit
seltic the football team
Actually it's tsitsero and tsesar
It is Tsitsero and Tsezar
T. heir of the Roman Empire
And many more if you include Vulgar Latin, which is what Romance languages come from anyway.
>durrrr all homosexuality is the same as the particular popular variant of the last few decades
Homosexuality in Ancient Greece comes from a tradition of pederasty. It has a specific context and purpose, no one ever thought homosexuality generally was good or normal. And most didn't like it going beyond a specific man-boy relationship in the aristocracy. Most didn't approve of olderman-youngerman.
This was probably the case for Celtics too, outsiders always misinterpret and paint others as unstructured and degenerate.
