linguistic adoption. Manifestations Pan-Celticism can operate on one or all of the following levels listed below: Linguistics Linguistic organisations promote linguistic ties, notably the Gorsedd in Wales, Cornwall and Brittany, and the Irish government-sponsored Columba Initiative between Ireland and Scotland. Often, there is a split here between the Irish, Scots and Manx, who use Q-Celtic Goidelic languages, and the Welsh, Cornish and Bretons, who speak P-Celtic Brythonic languages. Music Music is a notable aspect of Celtic cultural links. Inter-Celtic festivals have been gaining popularity, and some of the most notable include those at Lorient, Killarney, Kilkenny, Letterkenny and Celtic Connections in Glasgow. Sports Wrestling There are similarities across Celtic wrestling styles, with many commentators suggesting that this indicates they stem from a common style. In the Middle Ages it is known that the "champions from the Emerald Isle (the Green Island or Ireland) met the Cornish regularly to wrestle".

The Celtic wrestling championship started in 1985 comprising Gouren and Scottish Backhold or Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling and sometimes other styles such as Cornish wrestling. Teams that have competed in the Celtic wrestling championship include: Brittany Canaries Cornwall England Fryslan Iceland Ireland Leon Salzburg Sardinia Scotland Sweden Hurling and Shinty Ireland and Scotland play each other at hurling/shinty internationals. Handball As with Hurling and Shinty, Irish handball and Welsh handball () share an ancient Celtic origin, but developed into two separate sports, with a different set of rules and international organisations. Informal inter-Celtic matches were very likely a feature of industrial south Wales, with the Irish immigrant workers said
