One of the three languages of druids, most commonly used were Gaelic, Latin, and French. Although French only sparingly or so it is said. Latin will be added in at another time.
The Irish Ogham script of text, also called the Tree alphabet, was said to have been in use until 700 C.E. at the same time as the Celtic Tree calander. The Celtic Tree Calander is which the months are reckoned from new moon to new moon.
It is also rumored and believed that on many fronts- the Tree Alphabet, also called Ogham was a pure invention by the poet Robert Graes, who claims to have intuited the evidence. For more info, read Liz and Colin Murray, The Celtic Tree Oracle, and Rober Graves, The White Goddess.

* Mistletoe was considered too Sacred to have a written name in the Ogham, but it was used.
The Ogham alphabet was used to carve names onto the edges of standing stones and to send messages on sticks of wood.
