    I wonder what do you think about this?

    I think proto Celtic does sound more Latin like, and less slurred (although I don’t mean that the other Celtic languages sound dumb, just like you said, not as phonetically clear) I think it’s useful for people trying to reconstruct old Celtic languages

Most of what we know about the language comes from personal names, divinity names and toponymics so hardly 'reconstructible'.

    If it is reconstructed than it’s a hypothetical later version of the language, because the attested words in the language are more conservative phonetically like Celtiberian and possibly Lusitanian (if it’s a Celtic language)
