Language: the Proto-Celtic language was of Indo-European origin and descended from the same root as Italic (Italo-Celtic), the Proto-Celtic language was later divided into Q-Celtic (which was spoken on the Iberian peninsula and the British isles) and P-Celtic (which was spoken on the mainland).
History: the Celtic culture and language came into existence around 1200BC and probably originated from the Indo-European Bronze Age cultures of central Europe and the Balkans, the cradle of this early Celtic culture is believed to have been in western Rumania and Hungary.
Nowadays Celtic languages are only being spoken in the more remote areas of Ireland and Great Britain where they are called "Gaelic", Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic are very similar because the Scottish Highlanders are direct descendants of the Irish.

This ties in with the Celtic substratum theory that the Romans were never able to teach the Gauls to speak Latin in Roman fashion so Modern French is basically a mixture of Latin words and Celtic speech sounds.
Brennus, I was specifically speaking of the Gallo-Italian languages, which are most definitely closer to all of the Italo-Western languages than the Italo-Dalmatian languages, one of which is Italian.
Spoken Southern French is more conservative both for a substratum reason (Occitan) as for the fact that French was originally introduced in the South more through books (spelling) than through the actual knowledge of the more evolved spoken Northern French where half the word is swallowed.

 At the Edge: Straight Talking
Irish and Latin forms derive from a common Italo-Celtic cognate; and the Germanic forms are usually accepted as a borrowing from Celtic (Gaulish rix, etc).
Greek has no cognate form, nor has Old Church Slavonic.
The virtual disappearance of *reg- as a major stem in Slavic is a bit of a mystery; knowledge of Old Church Slavonic is limited to translations of the Bible and a few odd fragments, so there is little to help there.

 Proto-Indo-European
Some theories have also linked Italic and Celtic closely as Italo-Celtic, or Germanic and Balto-Slavic together, or Greek and Armenian; however, the similarities between these groups may well be due to contact rather than common ancestry after the break-up of PIE, or to dialect variations within PIE before its break-up.
PIE seems to have been a highly-inflecting language, with eight noun cases, three genders, three numbers (singular, plural and dual), and several tenses, moods and voices (the exact number is disputed).
This claim is largely based on the simplicity of the Hittite grammatical system compared with that of Sanskrit and Greek, which may represent an earlier system elaborated on in the ancestor of the Indo-European branch.

With the discovery of the Botorrita tablets in the 1970s, it became clear that the Celtiberian language, about which virtually nothing was known previously, is also Q-Celtic.
It should, however, be remembered that this dispute is purely academic in that they concern the relationship between modern-day groups of languages and groups that are now extinct.
