In Galicia and Asturias, Celtic languages are not spoken and in ancient times the majority language there was not Celtic

"Galician is not just a Romance language, as stated above, but rather one of the most faithful representations of Vulgar Latin, that was implanted in the country between the 1st and the 6th centuries of our era.(...)": HISTORY, OPEN GUIDE TO GALICIAN LANGUAGE, CONSELLO DA CULTURA GALEGA: http://consellodacultura.gal/cdsg/loia/historia.php...

"Lusitanian (Lus.), also Lusitano-Galician, is the modern exonym for a fragmentarily attested IE language in the West of the Iberian Peninsula, extending from the Atlantic Coast to the western borders of Castilia and from the Douro in the north to the Guadiana and the lower Tajo in the south. The name is derived from the ancient Lusitani in whose area the inscriptions were found.(...) The position of Lusitanian within Indo-European

The IE character of Lus. is immediately apparent from the inflectional endings. It clearly belongs to the Western IE linguistic area and represents a rather typical “old-IE” language, but its genetic relationship to other IE languages remains disputed. Divine names are shared with the Gallaeci, north of the Lusitani.

A special relationship to Celtic has been suggested, but cannot be substantiated: similarities with Celtiberian in derivational morphology could reflect mutual influence (the potentially shared thematic gen. sg. in -o is remarkable, unless the Lus. forms are instrumentals); lexical correspondences with Celtic (Lus. Crougeai~ OIr. crúach ‘hill’) rest on etymological speculation. More recently, similarities of Lus. with Italic have been stressed.(...)": Lusitanian, David Stifter, Maynooth (Ireland), 2018, Handbook of Comparative and Historical Indo-European Linguistics: https://www.academia.edu/19947011/113._Lusitanian

"(...) the Indo-European but clearly non-Celtic language that we today call Lusitanian.(...)": Book Reviews: Alejandro G. Sinner, Javier Velaza (eds.). Palaeohispanic Languages and Epigraphies. Oxford University Press, 2019, Juan Luis García Alonso, University of Salamanca, Spain, Journal of Language Relationship, ? 19/3-4, 2021: https://www.academia.edu/.../Alejandro_G_Sinner_Javier...

"An unprejudiced look at the available evidence shows that Lusitanian is genetically closer to Italic and incompatible with Celtic at any stage.(...)": The Lusitanian oblique cases revisited: new light on the dative endings, Blanca María Prósper, Universidad de Salamanca, Curiositas nihil recusat. Studia Isabel Moreno Ferrero dicata, Universidad de Salamanca, 2021: https://www.academia.edu/.../The_Lusitanian_oblique_cases...

"(...) in the north-western quarter of the peninsula there were hardly any Palaeohispanic inscriptions. Writing took a long time to reach this area, the most distant from the Mediterranean; it only did so in the form of the Latin alphabet under Roman rule. The languages spoken there are known through the place-name evidence, and through the names of people, gods, and communities that appear in Latin inscriptions. For the moment, suffice it to say that the linguistic situation must have been complex, with a fairly homogeneous Indo-European horizon that included the language that we call Lusitanian, which is barely known from an epigraphic point of view with only half a dozen inscriptions in the Latin alphabet; the language or languages spoken in Gallaecian territory, to the north of the River Douro, almost certainly close to Lusitanian; and finally, various Celtic enclaves, the consequence of a movement that was only brought to an end by the Romans.(...)": Method and methods Studying Palaeohispanic languages as a discipline, J. de Hoz, Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Palaeohispanic Languages and Epigraphies, pp. 1-24, 2019, OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS: https://www.academia.edu/.../J_de_Hoz_Method_and_methods...

"(...) Justin says that Gallaeci had a Greek origin (Gallaeci autem Graecam sibi originem adserunt) (...)": MYTHICAL ORIGINS OF GREEK TOPONIMY IN THE NORTHWEST IBERIAN PENINSULA, Domingo Plácido, Universidad Complutense, Madrid, 192 Electronic Antiquity 11.1, 2006:

https://scholar.lib.vt.edu/.../ElAnt/V11N1/pdf/placido.pdf

"(...) we do have Greek (Ptolemy II. 4.11 in the Baetica province; II.5.5 in Lusitania) and Latin (Pliny 3.13) references, as we have already mentioned, to certain groups of ‘Celtici’ (in the Northwest or in the Southwest) that our sources seem to consider recent offshoots from Celtiberia proper.

Celtiberian is a quite well known member of the Celtic language family and there is nothing controversial about its classifcation as such. Its relation to other possible varieties of Celtic in Hispania (for which we use the vague label of Hispano-Celtic) is difcult to assess, since there are no epigraphic attestations of any other Celtic language or dialect in Hispania, as far as I can see.(...) We have no certainty about the linguistic reality of the regions within the Indo-European section of Hispania beyond Celtiberia or the Lusitanian region for which we do not enjoy the luxury of having a native epigraphy. We might assume some regions were wholly or mostly Celtic-speaking, but the evidence of the presence of Lusitanian as well makes the specific delimitation of both language areas on a map uncertain, without forgetting that, apparently, Celtic speakers were settling in lands where the previous language was possibly Lusitanian.(...)": The South-West of Ancient Hispania in its Linguistic and Epigraphic Context, Juan Luis García Alonso, Universidad de Salamanca, 2023, Journal of Celtic Linguistics: https://www.academia.edu/.../_The_South_West_of_Ancient...

"Ancient Celtic-looking place-names (...) Nearly half of the relevant peninsular names contain Celtic versions of the Proto-Indo-European root *bhr?gh- ‘high’ which in Celtic developed the distinctive form *brig-, whence the Celtic words *brig-s and *briga, which gave Old Irish brí and Welsh bre respectively. These Insular Celtic words mean simply ‘hill’, but on the Continent the meaning seems to be ‘hillfort’ or ‘oppidum’ and in northwest Hispania briga is often translated as castellum in Latin sources (Luján 2011; Sims-Williams 2006, 49–53, 307, 328; Untermann 2018, 136). For occurrences in the Barrington data (Talbert 2000), see Figure 4. Out of my 153 locations in Hispania with ‘Celtic-looking’ names (Sims-Williams 2006, 142–51), 62 (41 per cent) included BRIG (or its variants BRIC, BIRIK, BRIS, BRIA), the next most popular string being SEG (or SEK) ‘power, victory’, in 17 locations (12 per cent). Thus the Celtic-looking toponymy of Hispania is heavily weighted towards BRIG and is much less varied than that of areas such as France and Britain. This monotonous lack of variety suggests that it lacks chronological depth. Moreover, alongside true Celtic compounds like Sego-briga ‘power-hillfort’ (in Celtiberia) we find many hybrids with non-Celtic or even Latin first elements, e.g. Conim-briga (now Coimbra, Portugal) and Flavio-briga (Castro Urdiales, Spain), the name of the latter colonia having replaced Amanum portus according to Pliny (Natural History 4.20.110). Such hybrids may sometimes indicate no more than an awareness of the prestige of Celtic culture in the way that modern English-medium creations like Bourn-ville and Minnea-polis reflect the prestige of French and Greek. It is well known that foreign place-name elements can be borrowed in bilingual communities and then spread into non-bilingual areas, a case in point in Welsh toponymy being cnwc ‘hill’, from Irish cnoc (Wmffre 2007, 54-6). Another example is *burg- from the Proto-Indo-European root *bhr?gh-. This was borrowed by the Romans from Germanic (or from a language such as ‘East Alpine Indo-European’) as burgus ‘watchtower, citadel’, a word that then turned up in Latin place-names as far afield as north Africa (Sims-Williams 2006, 4, 317–18). In the same way, Celtic briga may have been current as a term for various types of hillforts and oppida in Iberia well outside the Celtic-speaking regions (cf. Gorrochategui & Vallejo 2019, 340 n. 11; Luján 2019, 327–81; Sims-Williams 2012b, 44). And in areas where Celtic names are otherwise rare, briga/castellum may indicate relatively recent Celtic intrusions (Luján 2011). Given the chronology of hillforts in the peninsula (Arenas-Esteban 2012, 36; Fernández-Götz 2018, 146-7; Lorrio & Ruiz Zapatero 2005, 222), it is hard to imagine that many of the peninsular -briga names are much older than the first millennium BC.(…)”:

An Alternative to ‘Celtic from the East’ and ‘Celtic from the West’, Patrick Sims-Williams, Aberystwyth University, Cambridge Archaeological Journal, 2020: https://www.cambridge.org/.../4F186F087DD3BE66D535102484F...

"We could add that -briga names are paradoxically more frequent in the West (see this 2005 map of mine) most likely for reasons having to do with the actual meaning of the word (‘hill-fort’), which made it very appropriate for place names in perhaps hostile new lands. -Briga is more frequent overall in Spain than in Gaul, where -dunum is more frequent, but it is less frequent in the most clearly Celtic areas of Hispania (Celtiberia), where Celtic speakers had been established for centuries, than in areas where, it seems, Hispano-Celts were recent newcomers and had spread only thinly.(...)": The South-West of Ancient Hispania in its Linguistic and Epigraphic Context, Juan Luis García Alonso, Universidad de Salamanca, 2023, Journal of Celtic Linguistics: https://www.academia.edu/.../_The_South_West_of_Ancient...

"Besides Roman soldiers they had active Asturians and nimble Vettones, and Celts, emigrants from an ancient tribe of Gaul, who added their own name to that of the Hiberians.[3]" (Lucan, Pharsalia IV, 8-10), [3] Celtiberian was the compound name, Lucan : the civil war books I-X (Pharsalia): https://archive.org/stream/lucancivilwarboo00lucauoft...

"In the Iberian Peninsula in antiquity, several languages were spoken of which certainly one, Celtiberian, belonged to the Celtic family; it is possible that there were other Celtic dialects spoken there for which we do not have direct evidence. Celtiberian is named after the Celtiberian people, a tribe which, when the Romans began their conquest of the Iberian peninsula in 218 BC, occupied part of the valley to the south of the river Ebro, in the current province of Saragossa, the province of Teruel, and the eastern part of the northern plateau. The name “Celtiberians”, of Greek origin, probably means “Celts of Iberia”, in contrast to the inhabitants of the “Keltiké”, modern-day France. Their language is found in a series of inscriptions (see below) which has been identified as a Celtic language.(…)”: Celtiberian, Javier de Hoz, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Wieser Enzyklopädie. Sprachen des europäischen Westens, 2008: https://www.academia.edu/11086410/2008_Celtiberian_Keltoiberisch_Wieser_Enzyklopädie._Sprachen_des_europäischen_Westens_U._Ammon_and_H._Haarmann_eds._Klagenfurt_pp._83-90

"This paper outlines the individual histories of the attested ancient Celtic epigraphic traditions, Italo-Celtic, Celtiberian, Gaulish and Ogam-Irish.(...) The South-Western or ‘Tartessian’ corpus, almost 100 inscriptions from the very South-West corner of the Iberian Peninsula, does not belong to Celtic, although there have been attempts to show that they are evidence for an early Celtic language (Koch 2009, 2011). Their linguistic affiliation is unknown and only highly speculative interpretations have been proposed so far.(...)": The Early Celtic Epigraphic Evidence and Early Literacy in Germanic Languages, David Stifter, National University of Ireland, Maynooth, North-Western European Language Evolution, 2020:

https://www.academia.edu/.../The_Early_Celtic_Epigraphic...

"The study and consideration of the Celts in Spain over the last 20 years may be summed up by two key but very different facts: on the one hand, academic archaeologists have focused on the Celtiberian world on the eastern side of the Iberian Plateau (Meseta) and the right bank of the River Ebro and on the general process of Celticisation of the Iberian Peninsula, and, on the other hand, popular Celticism has grown strongly in the northern regions (Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria), areas where the majority of archaeologists have simultaneously ignored the issue, and have excluded the term Celtic from their research agendas (...) It is interesting to compare the popular and the academic perceptions of Celticism in Galicia. The popular perception is only interested in pre-scientific Celticism, the invented and esoteric Celticism which expresses itself in a multitude of ways. Thus there are processions and festivals of Celtic origin and invented festivals which claim to be Celtic; there is a breed of Celtic pig, Celtic bowling games and board games, Celtic song festivals, Celtic magic, and even a Celtic Golf Route in the Rías Bajas.(...)": THE CELTS IN SPAIN. FROM ARCHAEOLOGY TO MODERN IDENTITIES, Gonzalo Ruiz Zapatero, Complutense University of Madrid, Pré-actes du colloque du Collage de France, juillet 2006: http://www.academia.edu/.../The_Celts_in_Spain._From...

"This investigation presents an overview of ‘Celtic’ nationalism in northern Spain (...) The development and recovery of folk music, now denominated as ‘Celtic’ through cultural labelling processes, has performed a fundamental role in the popularisation of the ‘Celtic factoid’ (sensu James 1999: 136). In this regard, the acceptance of Asturias as a fully-fedged ‘Celtic’ country in the Festival Interceltique de Lorient (France) in 1982 was a turning point. Almost everything has become ‘Celtic’ in Asturias: from music and crafts, to local pig breeds.

We would like to underscore the significant role played by certain elites in the dissemination of ‘Celtic’ ideas and labels (...)": Building nations in the XXI century.
