A lot of people say a lot of things. I wonder if John Collis would care to inform the people of Wales that their language doesn't exist and neither do they.

Its not so much that as more the fact that "Celtic" people never referred to themselves as such at the macro level unlike the Slavs. The term doesn't come into play to lump people together who have an apparent "Celticness" together until much much later. It is a type of exonym rather than an endonym.
