The English and the Celts - no genocide?
#16
I think the article fails to note the closer example to Britain, that of Roman Africa, there Latin vanished without leaving any trace on Arabic. Social prestige and cultural identity explain that. Interestingly, there is there a similar debate over ethnic cleansing, Moroccans or Algerians, unless they are of Berber stock, they regard themselves as racially "Arabs" descendeant of the Arab conquerors and settlers, however that claim is unsupported neither by historical sources nor genetics.
