Celtic language separated from Indo-European as early as 10,000 BC according to Toth and Forster in their paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. They state 8,100 BC +/- 1,900 years. The paper also states that Celtic entered the British Islands (they can be termed the Celtic Islands at this time period) at 3,200 BC =/- 1,500 years, which places the Celtic language in the British Islands as early as 4,700 BC, which is remarkable but with explains the coordinated effort to build large monumental stone architecture at 3,200 BC such as the Brodgar excavations (now a UNESCO site) in the Orkney Islands, of Scotland, UK.
