Could experts please add current info re: Iberian Peninsula as an origin for ancient Irish, etc.?[edit]

Should some mention be made here about research and DNA connections currently being made/discovered about the ancient people of Ireland (and elsewhere) as migrating from/connected to the Iberian Peninsula? For example: Which areas of the peninsula have been involved in these connective "finds"? Which areas elsewhere have been shown to have a genetic connection (on the outflow side). Maybe a separate "Iberian Peninsula Genetic Connections/Migration" page could be provided - supplemental to the current Wikipedia "inflow" page: "Genetic history of the Iberian Peninsula." Thanks!

Iberian Peninsula true extent?[edit]

The Wikipedia map on this article showing the extent of the Iberian Peninsula seems to contradict google maps. Which is right?

The Google maps area includes a good chunk of southern France for reasons that escape me. It must be a software glitch. --Jotamar (talk) 18:18, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why is English Included among the native names?[edit]

The fact that Gibraltar is an imperial remnant of the British on the peninsula does not mean that English is one of the peninsula's native languages. It should be removed. French too. 189.62.151.21 (talk) 16:01, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably because it is spoken by the population of the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. So why should it be removed? And why French too?--Asqueladd (talk) 16:29, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
