![Pronunciation
The initial consonant of the English words Celt and Celtic is primarily pronounced /k/ and occasionally /s/ in both modern British and American English,[21][22][23][24] although /s/ was formerly the norm.[25] In the oldest attested Greek form, and originally also in Latin, it was pronounced /k/, but it was subject to a regular process of palatization around the 1st century AD whenever it appeared before a front vowel like /e/; as the Late Latin of Gaul evolved into French, this palatalised sound became /t͡s/, and then developed to /s/ around the end of the Old French era. The /k/ pronunciation of Classical Latin was later taken directly into German; both pronunciations were taken into English at different times.
The English word originates in the 17th century. Until the mid-19th century, the sole pronunciation in English was /s/, in keeping with the inheritance of the letter ⟨c⟩ from Old French to Middle English. From the mid-19th century onward, academic publications advocated the variant with /k/ on the basis of a new understanding of the word's origins. The /s/ pronunciation remained standard throughout the 19th to early 20th century, but /k/ gained ground during the later 20th century.[26] A notable exception is that the /s/ pronunciation remains the most recognized form when it occurs in the names of sports teams, most notably Celtic Football Club in Scotland, and the Boston Celtics basketball team in the United States. The title of the Cavan newspaper The Anglo-Celt is also pronounced with the /s/.[27]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4knd5leegsuvcbsamb47thqc/bafkreicxc2vlz2ik2n24jrjoyyqlsdr2teoucpz42gr4566f7iocfj6tzm)
