Well, English- particularly Old English- is a Germanic Language. Gaelic and Celtic were in Britain before the Angles, Jutes, Saxons and other tribes migrated over to England after the Romans left. At least, that's how I think English(Angle-ish, language of the Angles and henceforth England, Land of the Angles) came to be in England from what I can remember. Irish and Scots were there before the crumpet-eating, fox-hunting, CHIP CHIP CHEERIO English people came over. Of course, the English I described were still more or less what we think of when we think "Vikings"/Norse and other Germanic tribes when they came over around AD 600 but that's a whole other story for another time.
