Girlies is gender specific
It's not meant to be haha over here girly/ bitch can be used to mean friend or homie regardless of gender and it's also a play off the channel name "American girl". :)
Interestingly, in Anglo-saxon the word "gurl", from which "girl" derives, was applied to all young children and simply meant "child". So you could say we are all "Gurlies".
@@grapeman63 I like that take! Gurlies it is 🎉
@@grapeman63 only if you're a child. 😂
They definitely didn’t say Welsh is derived from English!
They said that Welsh is a Brittonic language, which along with Gaelic are Celtic languages.
Although a lot of modern welsh is derived from english
@@francom1499 that depends, loan words? Yes, load words that are loan words from a different language, also yes, but I'd say if you spoke to an English man in Welsh the only thing he'd recognise is brand's since we don't translate them most of the time
@@francom1499 loan words only!
@@francom1499 as others have mentioned loan words,and tbf most of them are loan words in English! However a largely monoglot population is unaware.
Bungalow,Garage, entrepreneur,Mam,Dad, Ambulance, camouflage,and of course nearly every medical term.
@@francom1499 no it is not some sloppy Welsh borrows English words however the language does not derive from it in any way,.
Celtic languages like Irish, Manx, Scots Gaelic, Welsh and Cornish are unrelated to the Germanic languages English and Scots. The Celtic people and languages arrived in Ireland and Britain first and were displaced by the Anglo-Saxons and their Germanic languages.
Almost every language spoken by native Europeans is descended from proto Indo-European, which is thought to have originated in the area to the north of the Black Sea. The only exceptions are Basque (northern Spain) and the Finno-Ugrian group (spoken in Finland, Estonia and Hungary).
@@imperialdebauchery5988 No, the Ancient British were here before the Anglo-Saxons came, and they were celtic. But they didn't speak Gaelic.
@@richardfurness7556 PIE is a theoretical language with no real-life examples. The point of my comment was to distinguish between the Celtic and Germanic languages since she repeatedly said in the video that languages from one were descended from the other. This plainly isn't true.
If someone says that Spanish is a fairly recent descendent of Slavic languages, how useful is it to reinforce such a false notion by talking about PIE? Technically, I'm related to everyone on earth but if someone asks how big my family is, I don't say it has eight billion people in it.
Celtic languages don't originate from Germanic languages
5:42 The people who occupied Britain before the Anglo-Saxons were Celts who spoke the ancestral form of modern Welsh, called Brythonic. The oldest native British poem is an epic called "Y Gododdin", which isn't Anglo-Saxon (or English), but Brythonic/Old Welsh. It's wasn't written in Wales, though - much of it was probably composed in what we'd now call Scotland and/or Northern England, around 600 AD.
BTW, Brythonic pre-dated English by several centuries, and is entirely separate from the Germanic branch of languages.
Common Brittonic and Old Welsh are different
@@thomasdavid7364 I know. I was just keeping it simple for a lay-audience.
@@thomasdavid7364 hardly at all.
Irish is taught in all schools in Ireland and there is some schools that only speak Irish called a Gaelscoil
I promise you that long Welsh word is actually the real name of a town / village. There's a TH-cam clip of a Channel 4 weather man pronouncing it. X
Usually abbreviated to "Llanfair P.G." in practice.
As I live on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey, I can confirm that is a genuine place, and is definitely shortened by locals to Llanfair.P.G.
Creative early tourist marketing, apparently. Welsh and German are alike in being able to have long compound words, linguistic legislation blocks :-)
In reality, its a sentence.
The Anglo-Saxons didn’t kick out the Celtic Britons. It’s just that Anglo-Saxon culture became the dominant culture.
Around 63% of all English people are descended from the Celts rather than the Anglo-Saxons. Or at least there genetic makeup is mostly Celtic Briton.
As my dear old father used to say "If you can get your tongue around our language (welsh) you will never displease a woman in bed" (if you get my meaning lol )
Is this a Welsh thing bc my dad said that too
The Celtic languages did NOT derive from English. They aren’t closely related to it at all. The Celtic languages are way older than English
No they're not
@@thomasdavid7364 Which point are you talking about? They aren't closed related, correct, but the Celtic languages are WAY older than English.
@@stuartcollins82 No they aren't
@@thomasdavid7364 yes they are you muppett, English is a very recent language.
@@dib000 The celtic languages which are spoken today are not the same as the languages that were spoken hundreds of years ago by celts at that time. Modern irish is not much older than modern english.
You have places like “New Hampshire” because it’s literally named after the English county Hampshire, hence why it’s called “New” it’s the same with “New York”, which was named after the Duke of York.
'Shire' is the old English word for 'county' which itself is probably is from French?
I thought new york was named after the city of york not the person
Wasn't the island bought by the Dutch and called New Amsterdam, then nicked from the Dutch by us British ? Renamed at that point after the Duke of York, who was responsible for acquiring the location for Great Britain.
@@bluur101 that's correct. Some of the old placenames remained, or were only slightly altered. Harlem, for example, was originally called "Nieuw Haarlem", after the Dutch city of Haarlem.
Im a welsh speaker and it always tickles me how only 30miles gives a different dialect in welsh language.
Also the girl vlogging in welsh was saying that she had started a vlog channel because vlogging is very popular and the channel was evidently being recorded in welsh.
The odd English word thrown in by her were used because those words are not available in Welsh e.g. Vlogging. We often adapt the spelling of English word to make them more wesh friendly e.g Channel becomes sianel, because of the sound (we spell things mostly phonetic).
I live right next to Cornwall and speak some of it due to my location and history. Just a correction: Cornwall is not on the edge of Wales, it is actually part of the westcountry which is the part of England underneath Wales (more specifically, it’s right at the end of it). Barely anyone down here speaks it but it genuinely is a lovely language. Also, you said Cornwall looks lovely. It is, along with Devon. Both Devon and Cornwall are known for their beaches and weather, often the main places to go on holiday if you don’t want to go abroad. I’d highly suggest coming down here next to you’re in the UK, see it for yourself.
Cornish has been successfully revived since around 1950.
The "original" people in this context were the ancestors of the Welsh. There are thought to be other groups of people living there before then but we don't know much about them. Basically, the Welsh and those of Welsh/Cornish descent are all that's left of the Brithonic people in the UK.
Cornwall is in England and it's beautiful, I've made it my mission to visit someday
The Cornish Nats might disagree :-) [with the England, not the beautiful]
Cornwall is attached to England, not part of England. 😊 We are still not legally under British rule. We are a Principality. Kernow bys vyken!
Thank you i an cornish born and bred as very proud of that and love were I live
@@annashear7331 Cornwall is a beautiful county my grandmother was cornish I'm lucky to live in Devon and have visited the Cornwall many times it's a privilege to live in the southwest of England.
Cornwall is a country not a county and up until the English civil war was fully recognised as such
In the the Isle of man, the "man" bit comes from the "son of sea" "Mannanan" a warrior king in Irish mythology if i recall? Our flag is the Three Legs of Man, when companies on the Island use "man" in their title it is usually with two N's ie MannVend or Mann Plumbing and so on. When i was young we use to have manx lessons (language, dancing, and music) in the earlier years but i think it was something you had to take further yourself if you were interested in continuing it.
The isle of the tailless cat. One of my favourite places.
Definitely do more Welsh stuff! 🏴 Btw the w in Welsh is mainly pronounced like the oo in cook
And you can say hello as helo
The Celtic sea God Mananan gives his name to the Isle of Man.
I'm sure you've figured out by now that Welsh isn't derived from English. Its roots are much older, although modern Welsh does borrow a lot. In fact, there are a lot of words that we've taken virtually verbatim but just changed the spelling to suit Welsh's phonetic rules. So, Ambulance is simply Ambiwlans in Welsh. Welsh has some words borrowed from Latin. For example, the Latin word for window is "fenestra". In Welsh, it's "ffenestr". I guess our ancestors didn't have their own word for window until the Romans showed up.
English borrows a lot, too - mainly from French and Latin, with German, Indian, and other languages thrown in for good measure :) Oddly enough, the Anglo-Saxons/English didn't absorb many words from the indigenous British languages like Welsh/Cornish. I can think of very few that are used with any frequency: "gull" (from gwylan), lawn (from "llan"), and - apparently - "car", but that's about it.
That's because most dark age homes didn't have windows. The Brits didn't get glass for Windows until the late middle ages.
@@woomeebly Similarly in Germany and France, where - like the Welsh "ffenestr" - their words "Fenster" and "fenêtre" are other examples of borrowings from Latin. Welsh is by no means unique in that regard.
I do like Popty Ping though.
Thanks for speaking up for us Cornish/kernowek!
The Welsh language is definitely NOT from the Germanic as it pre dates the Anglo Saxon invasion by centuries. It is as old, if not older than the Gaelic languages.
No it doesn't and no it isn't
@@thomasdavid7364 it is much older than gaelic.
@@dib000 No it isn't, what an absurd statement
Primitive Welsh arises around 550-600AD, which is later than Old English (450AD) and around the same time as Old Irish
@@thomasdavid7364 Brythonic is as old as Old Irish though.
@@internetual7350 Brythonic isn't Welsh
When he keeps on saying that the English expelled the original British people to the west, to become Welsh or Cornish, that is a traditional idea of how it happened, but I think historians now think it was more of a cultural take-over and not the ethnic cleansing that is implied here.
After the Roman Empire left Britain it was pretty chaotic and germanic tribes, now called Anglo-Saxons, came and settled, but not in such huge numbers as to actually replace the people that were already here. It just came about that the Anglo-Saxon culture became more dominant, and spread through most of the country. It was pretty complicated, there were a lot of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and British kingdons, and they did fight against each other. But also, sometimes Anglo-Saxons allied with British people to fight against other Anglo-Saxons, and British kingdoms also fought other British kingdoms. So it wasn't just the English against the British. And also, there wasn't really such a thing as England, as such, until after the Viking invasions, when the Anglo-Saxons lost almost all dominance except in Wessex. It was the fight against the Vikings that really created a unified England.
Most English/Brit NAT historians!The cultural takeover narrative has little evidence but is a fashionable re interpretation .Welsh writings from people like Aneurin in the Gododdin for example ,for me make the ethnic cleansing narrative more believable.I am of course coming at it from a Welsh perspective.
I don't think that's true. English historians of imperial bent in the 19thC and afterwards saw everything in terms of invasion and conquest and of one people replacing another, but archaeologists don't find evidence of this. Ancient historian do bolster the invasion narrative, but they had their own agenda, often a religious one. For instance interest in old british legends, particularly around the figure of Arthur, revived in the Norman-Platagenet period partly because they bolster Normans belief that they were divinely destined to conquer the English.
If it matters, I am Scottish and hold no brief for English nationalism.
@@keithevans9544 No matter how strong the invasion force at the end of the day you still need someone to plow the fields if you want to have a staying presence.
There also used to be cumbric which was spoken in the north west of England. I can't remember exactly where from but i looked it up and some say it went from the mersey to the lowlands of scotland, some say it was in just cumbria. but sadly it's gone extinct now. i forgot to mention that some farmers in cumbria still use the cumbric words for numbers to count their sheep!
IIRC "yan, tan, tethera, pethera, pim ..." or something close to that, there were several versions recorded.
Yes they do, there’s other words that still exist in the Cumbrian dialect from Cumbric too. I grew up in Cumbria. Like a lot of dialects, it’s dying out slightly which is sad. There are older people there though who basically exclusively talk in the dialect
@@sarahkelly473 That's really interesting! I hope someday there will be a proper revival of cumbric, like what's happening in cornwall.
All people who speak Welsh are bilingual & can speak and understand English perfectly
It is a popular myth that the Anglo Saxons arrived on the British Isles and conquered their way across the country.
The snag is that information mainly came from the writings of Gildas, a monk who gave a very distorted view.
There is little archeological evidence of any battles, no evidence of mass graves etc, it is more likely that groups of Anglo Saxons settled in various areas and became politically and culturally dominant, absorbing the local British.
The Cymru are the most British, but even in the far East of England, there is plenty of British dna, I understand
The majority of parents who have children at my kids schools don't speak Welsh themselves - but want their children to be able to do
Bilingualism is normal and gives one better perspectives and understanding, one understands.
What I find most interesting. Is that, if one could travel back in time to England. Say 500 years. *We wouldn't be able to understand or talk to each other* .
In *Geoffrey Chaucer* time... _“the first finder of our language.”_ His The Canterbury Tales ranks as one of the greatest poetic works in English. But it's almost impossible to read.
I know.. because we were given it to study in my high school English class. lol
The same is true, although perhaps not quite as much for Old Welsh to a modern speaker. Basically all language change and evolve over time, isolated languages less than those more exposed to foreign influences.
I studied Chaucer too. It’s better understood read than listened to in the original Old English. The theory is that the ‘window of language’ (I’m guessing the majority of languages although Icelandic is pretty much unreconstructed Viking I’m told) is about 300 years maximum.
The Shire is a County Not a Town, City like a State.
The germanic and celtic language trees are completely separate trees when he shows the graphic. You’ll notice that English and Scots aren’t on the celtic diagram with welsh cornish gaelic and manx.
I am Scottish but live in wales :) I’d love more Welsh and Scots history xxxx
Love your channel xxxx
I'm from Liverpool who live in North Wales but my Ancestry is Scotish, Irish, English and Welsh
so everyone in england used to speak a language very similar to welsh untill the anglo saxons came and merged their germanic language with welsh to form old english. Welsh is a lot older than english but still survives in wales today
Strictly speaking England didn't exist before the Angles etc. arrived. England = Angle-Land.
Actually there's virtually no influence at all from celtic languages on English. No merging happened there.
@@donaldb1 incorrect. The English Saxons were illiterate and had to have their language created for them by Druidic order of Ynys Mon (Modern day Angelsey)
Cornish and Welsh is a similar language
..and Breton/Breizh. The anthems are pretty much the same, too.
@@willrichardson519 I’ve always been interested to hear what Breton sounds like but never have. I know they’re quite fierce in the defence of their culture though. I just imagine Welsh with a French accent tbh
@@ethanquirk28 believe it or not, it's a lot closer to Cornish (Kernowek)
A shire is the old English word for county (scír). Many counties in the UK end with -shire, such as Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire etc. The head of the county was called the shiriff, from which we get the word sheriff.
County is the Norman French word.
Take a look at "Why are British Place Names so Hard to Pronounce" by Jay Foreman.
The Anglo-Saxons were also escaping the Huns from the east and flooding in their local area in the Angeln Peninsula. They also didn't conquer their way across England. There is archeological evidence of settlements of Britons and Saxons next to each other. Given that most English DNA is from the Britons it's more likely they assimilated into Anglo-Saxon culture.
The 3 legged motif of the Isle of Man is called a triskelion. Also happens to be used on the flag of Sicily
The Goidelic speaking Celts arrived in Britain some time between the 12th and 9th centuries BC. Their language slowly displaced the unattested previous language of these islands which had been the lingua franca since the arrival of the Beaker Peoples at the beginning of the Bronze Age, about 1500 years earlier.
The Brythonic speaking Celts arrived in Britain around the 5th century BC. Their language slowly replaced the Goidelic language throughout the island of Great Britain. The arrival of the Romans, en masse, in the first century AD led to the widespread adoption of 'pig' Latin as the new lingua franca but Brythonic still persisted at the margins of the Empire, where geographic isolation led to allopatric development into different languages: Cornish, Welsh (Cymraeg), Cumbric and Pictish.
The withdrawal of the Romans in the 5th century AD left a vacuum which allowed new settlers to arrive from Continental Europe, bringing their Anglo-Saxon language with them. This Anglo-saxon language eventually developed into English. At the same time that the Anglo-saxon speakers arrived in Britain, Goidelic Celtic speakers from Ireland re-settled Western Scotland and Frankish speaking settlers, also from the area now known as Germany, settled in Gaul. Its modern name, France, deriving from these settlers.
It was Frankish expansionism, from their homeland in Franconia, which led to most of the re-settlements around this time. The resulting Franconian Empire, known as Francia, would encompass both modern day France and Southern Germany. On the death of Pepin The Short, Francia would be split, under the rules of inheritance, between two brothers. The Western half falling to Charles (afterwards known as Charlemagne) and the Eastern half falling to Carloman. Carloman would evangelise the remaining Saxons, in Northern Germany, who the Franks dominated. Charles would later conquer Northern Italy, absorb his brother's kingdom, and rebrand his Empire as The Holy Roman Empire, adopting Latin as the Empirical tongue. This Frankish/Latin language would eventually become modern French. The Frankish language spoken in the Eastern half of the Empire would eventually become modern German.
To say that the Germans invented the English language, apart from being completely wrong, is to ignore the history of Dark Age Europe. One could just as easily make the same, erroneous, claim about the French language. The only language the Germans actually invented was their own and that derives from Frankish origins.
German and English languages are cousins, deriving from a common ancestor, although English had much more French grafted into it, thanks to the Norman conquering colonisers.
hello favour, welsh is older than english and is no way connected with German. look for a youtube channel called julingo and have look at a video titled " about the welsh language. it's educational.
More historical content or back to the light hearted stuff- tv commercials, British memes/ iconic moments, TH-camrs, etc 🤔 lmk and like the videooo 💛
Wooo more welsh :)
Lovr this video and love that were I was born and bred is on here love the fact that I am cornish
would love a video more on the welsh language

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is actually a place in Wales, I’m welsh but we often shorten it to Llanfair PG as it just takes to long to say the full name

"Hello, and welcome to the channel. Make yourself comfortable." First two sentences translated for you.
Im from Plymouth which is a city which is right next to Cornwall and we had kids at my school who were from deep rural Cornwall and some got to do a Cornish GCSE exam as well
Old maps show the isle of Man as 'Ynish Mon', with a line above the 'o' meaning it should be lengthened when spoken.
Ireland has place names with Inish- as a prefix, usually meaning 'island'
The Irish, Manx and Scottish gaelics are a family which distantly relates to Welsh, Cornish and Breton in France.
Within England there are some strong dialects that are more than accents as well!
Norfolk on the East of England is a strong one.
Ynys Môn is Welsh for the Isle of Mann, in Manx it's Ellen Vannin (spelling?)
@@marconatrix Close. Welsh for the Isle of Man is "Ynys Manaw"... "Ynys Môn" is Anglesey.
@@ftumschk Oops! My bad, how did I make such a silly mistake
Cymraeg is pronounced Cum-ryeg. He's not taking the piss, it's a real place, look it up. The places ending "Shire" are counties not cities. It was the English flag that was shown, Cornwall is part of England.
The vikings were incredible boat builders. There boats were very fast; I think the fastest viking boat known was capable of 22 knots, although that was a cargo boat rather than a war boat. Actually the English did learn from the Vikings, because a few centuries later it's the English conquering everyone using their advanced maritime warfare technology.
It’s sucks that Gaelic is not taught in all of Scottish schools nowadays, this is due to our history with the England/crown. The language was outlawed in 1600s/1700s and forbidden in schools and church’s etc which is why it it’s freely spoken by everyone. Although most people I know know a few Gaelic word/phrases most people don’t speak it. It is on the road signs throughout the nation
It was banned in Ireland too (Irish language,songs, poetry, etc. were all punishable) for ages when the Brits were oppressing us
But in more recent history, when we were trying for independence, there were movements to get more Irish into everyday things
Now roadsigns have Irish on them as well as English, like you said Scotland has
Irish trad music and songs were collected and written down to preserve them
The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) was formed to preserve Irish sports (Camogie, Gaelic football, Hurling)
And Irish is taught in primary school right up to college (and you can also choose to do college through Irish)
(TGLurgan, which is a Gaeltacht/Irish speaking area, translates pop songs into Irish on TH-cam, to help the kids get more interested in learning it)
Hopefully Scotland can have something similar, and people can learn the language from a young age, cause although I hated doing that extra subject in school, I’m glad now that I can speak some Irish
@@samkelly4132 I think it's harder to do in Scotland than it was in Wales or Ireland because in Scotland its been a fringe language for a lot longer, the only benefits the welsh and Irish got from being "useless backwaters"
In simple terms the main language of the county of Cornwall, majority of England & Wales was a language similar to the Welsh today. The Anglo Saxons (Southern Scandinavians & Germans) invaded England and pushed the traditional 'Britons' to the edges, so the Welsh & Cornish people retained the Celtic language of the Britons at the time.
You should do a whole video on Welsh, Irish, Scottish and English music, traditional songs/music, folk songs etc. The Irish and Welsh particularly are known for being lands of music and song.
Yes check out the music (Scots Gaelic too!) I think you'll enjoy it :-)
I swear, if I hear sospan Fach I'll die of nostalgia overload
Hiya Favour, have you been watching any of the Euro 2020 Tournament?
What happened during the Anglo Saxon invasions is a bit of a mystery. It used to be thought the Anglo Saxons pushed the native British population west, but recent genetic studies showed the population barely changed. So best current theory is that the Anglo Saxons replaced the aristocracy and this caused a change in language. But this change was strangely rapid and complete and some academics suggest that the British tribes in the East already spoke a Germanic language
The lower classes were culturally assimilated as well. Around 20-40% of the gene pool is Anglo Saxon
@@bogswats3420 As I said that is the best current theory, but there are issues with how rapid and complete it was. Very different from the Romans, Vikings and Normans. Even in examples of complete displacement of the native population in places like America and Australia you can still see the traces in place names and language. All of the alternate explanations have their own issues which is why it is the best theory. But there are a lot of unanswered questions and little hard evidence
Defo true, Somerset is perfect example, you get alot of words with a mix of English and Welsh. Glastonbury for example is one.
The Anglo Saxons originated in what is now northern Germany, northern Holland and Southern Denmark - the Angeln area of Schleswig, Lower Saxony, Frisia and even Jutland.
I believe the welsh vlog channel said "a" instead of "and" in welsh a by itself means and.
interesting fact: Though not legally it's own Language, Scouse English is a legally distinct dialect from British English.

Most celts weren't pushed out but intermarried with the Anglo Saxons to the point where some English populations can be 40% Celtic but as English as can be

Before the Anglo Saxons, Jutes and Danes invaded the Romano Briton/Celts lived throughout UK.
Yes there were Celts in Iberia there are some influence in the north parts of Spain and Portugal. There is also a theory that the Celts come from Iberia by sea to the Ireland
I ain’t no girlie😂😂
got baited again, that's a real place in Wales 🤣🤣🤣
All the Celtic languages pre date the Germanic influence which created the early English language. There is a lot of misconception about the roots where the Welsh language derived from, but it certainly wasn't Germanic or old English
It is compulsory to learn irish in most schools in ireland to join the irish police force you have to speak fluent irish. I was thought irish and French in school I can now speak very little irish ,but I am fluent in French. Very few people speak irish any more just certain areas where they get government funding to do so.
One of the languages the video said didn't stick around, Norn, is possibly about to be revived on Orkney and Shetland; similarly to how Cornish got revived.
Norn is descended from Old Norse, i.e. viking speak :-)
@@marconatrix Indeed. Up here on Orkney and on Shetland we hold our Norse roots dear to our hearts :-)
The original settlers in the uk is us welsh we are the britons while the english are anglo saxons that came from Germanic tribes

My a drig yn Kernow hag a gews Kerneweg ... worth an gath ;-)
17:00 Yeah, Celtic languages used to be spoken all over Europe and the Middle East until the roman empire ruined everything!
6:16 LMFAO
This is North Welsh language which is completely different to South Welsh language
They all come from the Celtic tree apart from English/Scots. The Celts came from Central Asia to mainland Europe and to British isles probably from spain & France who have large Celtic populations, many pushed out by the Romans
The super long welsh town name is actually real. I can neither say it nor spell it.
YES, there is only one flavour of Icecream and that's vanila. Oh yeah, the language stuff was good too.
She said ond not and, which means but
Welsh also has different ways of saying things, like in South Wales you'd say Mike ydw i, instead of dwi Mike
Da iawn butt !
I believe she said ond not and, "ond"is "but".
2:25 that is a reall name in wales
I'm sorry Favour but the long place name is actually real, in Wales we call it LlanfairPG for short.
The nickname for Wales is "The Land Of Song", as we are famous for our choral choirs
Cornwall is a very proud country in England, but never call a person from Cornwall English, as they are very proud that they have their own identity and language they are Cornish men and women and even have their own flag. Cornwall is nowhere near Wales as it is at the very bottom South-west of England.
The Manx people live on a tiny island in the Irish inbetween Norther Ireland and England the island is called the Isle on Man and they also have their own flag which has a round symbol comprising three legs, they alsh have their own government independent from the UK.
The Brithic languages are NOT Germanic they are CELTIC and are a original to our country of Wales, we have spoken it since very ancient time, Welsh is an original language in the UK.
Athelstan, largely forgotten now, was the first king of all England. Check out Michael Woods ‘In search of the Dark Ages - Athelstan’ on You Tube.
I’ve spent a fair bit of time in the Scottish Highlands and picked up a smidgeon of Scots Gaelic, mainly from the songs of Runrig and Ralph Storer’s ‘100 Best Routes on Scottish Hills’ and a very basic ‘Teach yourself Gaelic’ book. Handy for saying where you are going, where you’ve been and reading maps!
I was a great fan of RunRig at one time, definitely worth checking out there stuff :-)

As a Devonian we get annoyed at the Cornish, friendly rivalry
