I have yet to hear two Europeans of the same "folk" using any other
language but their own in ordinary conversation. There's a
distinction between "being able to speak" and "speak".

As for those Cimbri changing language: They even changed their
bosses' names to Celtic: Teutobodus, Boiorix etc. Finds in Denark
from that time are also Celtic. Odd.
