      Thats because the Welsh and Bretons were once, one and the same people. Before England and France cut the nations of from one another.

      Well technically bretons are a mix of the Celts in Gaul and the ones in Cornwall that fled the Saxons while they were busy fighting the Celts in Britannia, only the welsh truly held out on that island tho, and a small pocket that was actual Cornwall

      No. More people spoke Welsh a hundred years ago and even more if you go further back. But certainly more people speaking Welsh than 50 years ago, and a government plan to have 1 million speaks by 2050.

    "Edward the King, the English King,
    Rode on a dapple grey charger
    ‘I wish to know the worth’, said he,
    ‘of my Welsh lands over the border.
    Is the grass rich for sheep and ox,
    Are the soil and rivers good?
    And are my provinces watered well
    By rebel patriots’ blood?
    And what of the people, the wretched people
    Do they seem a contented folk?
    Are they as docile, since I subdued them,
    As their oxen in their yoke?’
    ‘Your Majesty Wales is the fairest jewel
    You have in all your crown,
    River and field and valley and hill
    Are the best you may come upon.
    And as for the people, the wretched people,
    They live so happily, Sir,
    Like so many graves their hamlets stand
    And none there even stir.’
    Edward the King, the English King,
    Rode on a dapple grey charger,
    Around him silence which way he want
    In his Welsh lands over the border.
    Montgomery the castle’s name,
    Where he that night remained,
    The castle’s lord, Montgomery,
    His monarch entertained.
    There was fish and flesh and whatever else
    To sight and taste seemed good,
    A rowdy throng, a hundred strong,
    Bore in the heavy load.
    All kinds were there, that isle could bear
    Of meat and drink, with these
    was bubbling wine that sparkling shone,
    Carried from distant seas.
    ‘Ye Lords! ye lords! will no one here
    His wine glass with me clink?
    Ye lords! ye lords! ye rude Welsh curs,
    Will none the King’s health drink?
    There is fish and flesh and whatever else
    To sight and taste seem best,
    - That I can see, but the devil I know
    Dwells in each noble’s breast.
    Ye lords! ye lords! ye vile Welsh curs,
    Come greet your Edward;
    Where is the man to sing my deeds
    A Welshman and a bard?’
    Each night upon the other looked
    Of the guests assembled there;
    Upon their cheeks a furious rage
    Paled to a ghastly fear.
    And strangled breath from lips like death
    Was all that could be heard;
    When, like a white defenceless dove
    Arose an ancient bard.
    ‘Here there is one to tell thy deeds,’
    Chanted the ancient seer;
    ‘The clash of battle, the hoarse death rattle,
    The plucked strings made them hear.
    The clash of battle, the hoarse death rattle,
    On blood the sun setting;
    The stench that drew night - prowling beasts.
    You did all this, O King!
    Ten thousand of our people slain,
    The rest are gathering
    The corpses heaped like harvest stocks -
    You did all this, O King!’
    ‘Off to the stake! this song’s too harsh’.
    Ordered King Edward.
    ‘Come, let us have a gentler tune’
    Forth stepped a young Welsh bard.
    ‘Soft breezes sigh in the evening sky,
    O’er Milford Haven blown;
    Maids’ sobbing tears and widows’ prayers
    Within those breezes moan.’
    ‘Don’t bear a race of slaves ye maids!
    Mothers give such no more!’
    The King spoke and the boy caught up
    The old man sent before.
    But though unasked, yet recklessly
    Advanced, unmoved, a third
    His lyre’s fierce song, like the Welsh bard strong,
    And his word must be heard.
    ‘Our bravest fell on the battle field,
    Listen O Edward -
    To sing the praises of your name
    There is not one Welsh bard!’
    ‘One memory sobs within my lyre,
    Listen O Edward -
    A curse on your brow every song you hear
    From a Welshman and a bard!’
    ‘Enough of this! I orders give’
    Answered the furious King,
    ‘To send to the stake all the bards of Wales
    Who thus against me sing!’
    His servants till their task was done
    Their searching never ceased;
    Thus grimly in Montgomery,
    Ended that famous feast.
    Edward the King, the English King,
    Spurred his dapple grey charger.
    On the skies around, stakes burning stand
    In the Welsh lands over the border.
    Five hundred went to a flaming grave,
    And singing every bard.
    Not one of them was found to cry
    ‘Long live King Edward!’
    What murmur is this in the London streets?
    What night song can this be?
    ‘I will have London’s Lord Mayor hanged
    If any noise troubles me’.
    Within, a fly’s wing must not move,
    Outside all silence keep.
    ‘The man who speaks will lose his head
    The monarch cannot sleep.’
    ‘No! Bring me the music of pipe and drum,
    And the trumpet’s brazen roar,
    For the curses I heard at the Welshman’s feast
    Ascend to my ears once more!’
    But above the music of pipe and drum
    And the bugles’ strong refrain,
    Loud cry those witnesses of blood,
    Five hundred Welsh bards slain."
    (János Arany, Hungarian poet: The bards of Wales)

      @The Radical Im living in North Wales atm, most Welsh people here have atleast 1 English grandparent in my experience. There's an awful lot of English people living here too. I think the stronger Brythonnic blood may have been the case a while ago and still is some of the smaller villages but on the whole there's a lot of English admixture.
