: Then how did the Germans speak it as a common language in
: Northern Europe and the Romans have knowledge of it?
: After all, Gζlic has an uncany resemlance to Gallic.

The Germans--Goths at the time--did not speak Gaelic, nor Gaulish, but rather Gothic. The Celtic languages are not Germanic. And the Romans encountered virtually all Celtic tongues--they occupied Western Europe, after all, and also England and Scotland during the time when both the Scotii and the Picts were in residence.

and
