What is druidic language?

Druidic language, also known as the Druid language or Old Irish, was a language spoken by the ancient Celtic druids in Ireland, Britain, and Gaul. The language has no written records and was transmitted orally. It is believed to have evolved from Proto-Celtic and was closely related to the Gaulish language.

Druidic language was limited to the Druids and their apprentices, and they considered it a sacred language, using it for religious ceremonies, rituals, and divination. It was believed to have mystical powers and was used primarily for secret communications and knowledge sharing among the Druids.

The language is notable for its complex grammar and syntax. It has five cases, including nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative, and heavily inflected verbs with complex conjugations. The Druidic alphabet was derived from the Ogham script, which used a series of notches on wooden sticks to represent individual letters.

The Druidic language declined after the Roman conquest of Gaul and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland and Britain. The language eventually gave way to the Gaelic languages like Irish, Scottish, and Welsh, which were heavily influenced by Druidic language and culture. Today, only a few fragments of Druidic language remain, and it is mostly preserved in mythological tales and ancient texts.
