the celts didn't quite make it to africa. of course, the germanic tribe of Vandals did, occupying a large part of it, centered on carthage. likely using their own ruinic lettering. they surrendered eventually to the romans, who threw them out. some of them were given lands in galatia (a corruption of celt/gelt/gell/gael/gaul) where they mingled with the celtic natives. there are 'galatia' regions of spain, asia minor (turkey) and southern poland. all celts/gauls.
