Miguel, my understanding was that Celtiberian was the language
spoken by the tribes of part Celtic, part Iberian origin, hence the term
Celtiberian, and that other Q-Celtic dialects were spoken be the Celtic
tribes who hadn't merged with Iberian tribes. And didn't P-Celtic
dialects begin to replace much of Q-Celtic speech in the middle of the
1st Century B.C.?
I always that maybe the fact that Q-Celtic was spoken in Iberia could
lend support to the Irish myth of the Milesians settling Ireland from
Iberia.
