मुख्य बातें
- Two new studies in Nature, based on DNA from more than 4,500 ancient Europeans including over 700 newly sequenced genomes, offer fresh answers to how Germanic and Celtic languages spread.
- The Germanic findings point to a previously unknown migration into Scandinavia from around the Baltic Sea about 4,000 years ago, later than long assumed.
- For Celtic, the evidence best supports a Central European origin, with people linked to the Urnfield culture moving west into France, Britain and Spain between about 3,200 and 2,800 years ago.

The researchers stress that DNA alone cannot show what language a person spoke, but combined with archaeology and linguistics it can test competing theories.
