So where do they all originate from as I ASSUME that they not all already have been there?
Celtic peoples actually most likely originate from the area that is now Switzerland and Austria
What's interesting is that The ancestors of the Welsh, Cornish and Bretons probably originated in Belgium, while the Ancestors of the Gaels possibly originated in the borderlands of Spain and France. This is conjectured mostly from linguistic and literary evidence, as the Celts of ancient Belgium spoke a language with striking similarities to Old British, while the languages of the Celts in Spain show similarities to Primitive Irish
Indeed, many languages of the pre-Columbian indigenous people still exist! Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs is still spoken by 1.7 million people as their first language; The Mayan languages collectively have about 6 million speakers, and Quechua, the language of the Inca is spoken by 8.9 million. Other smaller languages also still exist in Latin America like Mapuche and Guarani. I speak a bit of Nahuatl myself, but not much.
As for other behaviors, well, much of our culture has significant influence by the pre-Columbian peoples. The foods we eat are heavily influenced by Native traditions, as well as things like our traditional clothing and textiles. Things like Dia de Muertos/Day of the Dead have roots in the religion of the Aztecs.
Jazakallahu khairan, that was a very useful comment containing much information. All i read and see on documentaries they talk about Maya's, Inca's and Aztecs in the past about sacrifice and in that sense, but they say nothing about the modern day decedents or other things. Just recently for the FIRST time i heard about chinampa's and i was very impressed as this is very valuable and smart way of farming.
Are those languages also thought in schools or is only thought by the parents?

To my knowledge, they are not used as mediums of education or really promoted by schools. There's still a great stigma in using these languages, as they're seen as being backwards and for uneducated farmers

Another piece of arrogance thought to the people, while all languages are blessings from Allah(swt).

They originate from central Europe,al-Andalusi has summed it up perfectly,..Although I am Scottish which is a Celt nation I'm probably the least looking Scottish person LOL,...The Celt in my username is after the football club who I support who are based in Glasgow
You may have heard of this club it made quite a big headline here in the UK the supporters of Celtic FC played a Israeli team last year,and our support showed solidarity with Palestine waving big flags,banner etc showing support for the people of Palestine

To be honest i do not follow football at all anymore. Already for like 4-5 years. I am you could call one of those buzzkills . To give you an example, i have myself a cousin he is such a huge football fan. He almost watches all the games. I say..can you tell me the second el clasico of 2006. Do you remember who scored and in which minutes. Who won during that match? Off course he doesn't know. So i say..to him..this is it with all the football. You watch a game you follow every one of those games for what? What benefit have you gotten from it? Cheering for a team..that you will already forget their games they played . Or people who are such a huge Messi fan or other football star. I ask them does he also cheer for you? ..because you are such a fan of him..but he doesn't even know you exist.
Sorry, brother for turning on the buzzkill mode of mine. (CLICK). Turned it off again.
Everybody spent his/her time on the things he/she finds enjoyable . As you might not like what i do in my free time. Live and let live. . Thank you for confirming what al-Andalusi has said.
"Khawlah became a legend during her life and remains a legend till this day. She set an example to men and women alike that one should fight for what he or she believes in, and never accept defeat.''
Because everything that was beautiful or gave me hopes in my life is gone.I only have Allah,but I dont know if He still wants to have me (in the circle of people,who He helps/protects) so even this hope is dying... thats why DyingLight,dying hopes

Walaikum Assalaam wr wb brother,
I have read your story and I can see you are very young and struggling to live the islamic life you picture in your head in a non-muslim household/land. Many young muslims go through this struggle during University or college years and it is difficult for practicing muslims. You are feeling suffocated and want to run away and thinking your solution is running away. But may be that is not what you need or what is good for you and Allah knows best.
It seems you are feeling very negative about your situation and life. But Life could be far worse - your family could have not accepted you back and you could have been homeless. Focus on the blessings, say Alhamdulillah I have a home to live in, food, water, warmth etc. Your family may not be muslim but Alhamdulillah you can live your life as a muslim in their house. Be grateful and also patient during these struggles. I know it is difficult.
It is good to focus on hereafter but completely forgetting this world can be problematic, you also need to focus on life on this world and your purpose. There is a lot of good to be done and billions of people to help all around the world. Join local mosque and meet some good muslim brothers inshaAllah. Get involved with voluntary work and charity fundraising activites in your local community. Whichever land you are in, serve your community and those in need as a Muslim for the sake of Allah. Also focus on education, getting an apprentiship or work before you can be in position to get married.
I will pray for you inshaAllah. Take it easy, don't put too much pressure on yourself, set high goals, be courageous & make duas constantly. Take one step at a time and Put your Complete Trust in Allah that He will give you everything at the right time that is perfect for you. May Allah swt make everything easy for you and keep you strong and steadfast in His deen & Iman always, Ameen.
Do not lose hope nor be sad ~ Quran 3:139
And of course Allah swt love you & wants what is good for you always...you should never question that:
