Gaelic

Gaelic or Goidelic was introduced by the Gallaeci tribes of Gallaecia (Galicia N.W. Spain) circa 500 B.C. The Gallaeci spoke an archaic Goidelic Q-Celtic tongue known as Gallaic. The Gallaeci were Halstatt Celts that settled in Galicia circa 800 B.C. The Celtiberians spoke Celtiberian Q-Celtic, but not Goidelic. The Celtiberians were La Tene Celts that settled in N.E. Spain circa 500 B.C.

The word for one hundred is "cet" in Old Irish (Old Gaelic) and "ciot" in Gallaic.
