I love Wales and all things Welsh. If I had the money, I would move there permanently. BEAUTIFUL country. WONDERFUL people. Amazing history, culture and language. My Great-Grandfather migrated here to the U.S.A. from Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, and I think he regretted it, but was stuck here. I wish I could go back. I would do it in a heartbeat.
omg i would just get up walk out and turn over the coffee table if they made me watch this a orientation. Screaming something like, "I'm welsh + i can drive = don' t tell me how to be a welsh tazi driver!"
I think making an attempt to learn a small bit of the language anywhere you go is appreciated. We're all somewhat proud of where we come from and there's some satisfaction when people acknowledge that your place is worthy enough to be bothered learning a bit of the language.

Sorry but the Welsh spoken in southern Argentina since it´s so archaic is sometimes more genuine than what nowadays an average UK welsh speaker would think

After school I decided to get a paper round job and earn £10/£20 a week to help feed literally thousands of wild ponies...

I explored my wildlife like I saw Crab spiders I never seen before with body being the size of a adult thumbs finger nail and spidees was either all yellow, all pink, all white and even purple and I spotted wild wall lizards, just an amazing place.... Coz my family missed home :^( we moved back to Manchester year 1993 and I was bullied at school so started experiencing hearing voices so had to talk to a child psychologist and in the end I went to 13 schools around Manchester... 1998 me parents and two siblings moved to Cambridgeshire then Preston City and even though it was about 30 year ago I was at Swansea I still have the visions I experienced and it dominates my daily life coz I think of Swansea still like at least every 30 seconds... Wish I had a mobile phone back in the year 1991... If you ask anybody in UK excluding Wales what happened in 1966 The people in England, Scotland n Ireland mention England winning the world cup but me I was taught about Aberfan disaster and it like a secret like all over UK know what happened 1989 Hillsbourough disaster and notice 1991 there was no programmes on TV broadcasted from Wales ???

Welsh and so have equal rights along with English in Wales, at least. Information on road signs written both in English and Welsh. The documents drawn up in two these languages too.

There are several native languages within the UK, English being the most common (due to their conquering nature). The others are Welsh, Gaelic Irish, Gaelic Scottish, (different to Irish), Manx, Cornish and I believe there's another in the outer islands (not too definite on that). They all have (except English) a common root with the old celtic Britons, but are not the same and you cannot converse in one and be understood by another.
@@fearmorpiercemacmaghnais7186 Well perhaps that's true, but Ireland was once a part of Britain (even if you argue that it was an occupied invasion as was Wales and Scotland). It's language is also a part of the old Celtic tribes of this group of islands and as such the language shares a common root and should be included within the languages of the British Isles imho. It's still spoken in parts of the North isn't it?
@@ttothep2443 part of the British isles yes but just not part of the island of Britan even though a lot of people say that it's real name is the archipelago isles or the Celtic islands
in what part of Britain do people not say ta-ra or tra for goodbye? - i think its cockney and spread to everywhere but wherever it started its not exclusively welsh
In lots of places but it’s probably fair to say it’s most widely used in the Midlands, in the Black Country people famously say ‘trarabit’ (Tara for a bit) to mean ‘bye’/‘see you’/‘see you later’.
The Welsh were persecuted in the late 19th century by the English. The language was banned in schools. Some people fled Wales and settled in Patagonia where they felt safe and free from persecution to preserve their culture and language.
@@pooredonna I believe it's still pure Welsh, although there are a few very slight differences in a few words and spellings (like the small differences between Spanish and Mexican). There are also small differences between Northern Welsh and Southern Welsh in Wales itself. They can all freely converse between each other and be understood though.
@@ttothep2443 Thanks for the response! I know my great grandmums supposedly couldn't understand one another. One was Welsh & the other Cornish. I've always been curious as to whether that was actually true. 😉
@@pooredonna Cornish is a very different language to Welsh, so no they wouldn't be able to understand each other. Although they both have ancient Celtic origins and are part of the same family of languages, as does Irish Gaelic, Manx and Scottish Gaelic. Those languages all go back to the ancient Britons before the Roman invasion. English on the other hand is a mixture of Saxon, Latin, Norse, Norman, Angle etc. so is unrelated to the older British languages.
"I am" & "I do" at end of a sentence is applying welsh grammar to english. "Butt" is short is for "botty", miners' term, as they worked originally lying down, botty to botty. "Buddy" is the american version.

P Celtic Welsh came from southern-brythonic. South-Brythonnic came from P Celtic Belgian language. 3 belgian celtic tribes, pre celtic wave, second wave, third wave of fishermen from old Belgica wich was a little bit bigger then it is now today. Those 3 tribes live on the seaside of old Belgica and north-east of france and a little bit lower. the belgian celtic tribes were: the atrebatii, the nervii and the morinii. Their dna is related to people who are speaking a P celtic language. They went to the island of white, settled in winchester, settled in south-east england and formed 7 new celtic tribes in the south-east of england. I am from Belgium and knows a lot of the history of old belgica.
Aren't Bretons of Britiany related to the welsh? My understanding is that as the islands were invaded and the southern celtic tribes were being pushed further west, some fled to wales while others retreated to cornwall, but still others decided to leave the Briton entirely and join the few remaining continental celts in what is now Brittany. Shouldn't there language also be P celtic as well?

It's language is also a part of the old Celtic tribes of this group of islands and as such the language shares a common root and should be included within the languages of the British Isles imho. It's still spoken in parts of the North isn't it?
@@ttothep2443 part of the British isles yes but just not part of the island of Britan even though a lot of people say that it's real name is the archipelago isles or the Celtic islands
Who knows the relation between Welsh and Torcharians? If you do, do you know how to find those Torcharians in Wales?
TH-cam subtitles software really struggles with the welsh words yes.
in what part of Britain do people not say ta-ra or tra for goodbye? - i think its cockney and spread to everywhere but wherever it started its not exclusively welsh
In lots of places but it’s probably fair to say it’s most widely used in the Midlands, in the Black Country people famously say ‘trarabit’ (Tara for a bit) to mean ‘bye’/‘see you’/‘see you later’.

i'm from Chubut (Argentina) and there are people speaking welsh
somebody can explain me? i'm sorry of my english it's not good.
The Welsh were persecuted in the late 19th century by the English. The language was banned in schools. Some people fled Wales and settled in Patagonia where they felt safe and free from persecution to preserve their culture and language.
@@ttothep2443 Thanks for the info. How interesting! Is it still pure Welsh or is it now a mixture of Spanish?
@@pooredonna I believe it's still pure Welsh, although there are a few very slight differences in a few words and spellings (like the small differences between Spanish and Mexican). There are also small differences between Northern Welsh and Southern Welsh in Wales itself. They can all freely converse between each other and be understood though.
@@ttothep2443 Thanks for the response! I know my great grandmums supposedly couldn't understand one another. One was Welsh & the other Cornish. I've always been curious as to whether that was actually true. 😉
@@pooredonna Cornish is a very different language to Welsh, so no they wouldn't be able to understand each other. Although they both have ancient Celtic origins and are part of the same family of languages, as does Irish Gaelic, Manx and Scottish Gaelic. Those languages all go back to the ancient Britons before the Roman invasion. English on the other hand is a mixture of Saxon, Latin, Norse, Norman, Angle etc. so is unrelated to the older British languages.
Welsh Women! 👍
"I am" & "I do" at end of a sentence is applying welsh grammar to english. "Butt" is short is for "botty", miners' term, as they worked originally lying down, botty to botty. "Buddy" is the american version.
+tony sims I'd heard it came from "bodoch", which is Gaelic for "old man", but it's often used in the context of "mate"...
tony sims I heard some Afrikaans men saying butty .
Don't wales usually make long droning sounds in the ocean?
I'm proud. I can pronounce the entire Llanfair name
Now I know what the sims got their language from
i cant imagine how strange this would be to a person (preferably american) who has never heard of wales
Try reading The Dark is Rising Sequence as a 9 year old kid in Hawai'i in the mid-90's and coming across the Welsh written language.
regarding the spelling system for Welsh words, just wow! and I thought Polish and Finnish words played with your eyes.

HOW THE HELL DO I FIND MYSELF WATCHING THIS
P Celtic Welsh came from southern-brythonic. South-Brythonnic came from P Celtic Belgian language. 3 belgian celtic tribes, pre celtic wave, second wave, third wave of fishermen from old Belgica wich was a little bit bigger then it is now today. Those 3 tribes live on the seaside of old Belgica and north-east of france and a little bit lower. the belgian celtic tribes were: the atrebatii, the nervii and the morinii. Their dna is related to people who are speaking a P celtic language. They went to the island of white, settled in winchester, settled in south-east england and formed 7 new celtic tribes in the south-east of england. I am from Belgium and knows a lot of the history of old belgica.
Aren't Bretons of Britiany related to the welsh? My understanding is that as the islands were invaded and the southern celtic tribes were being pushed further west, some fled to wales while others retreated to cornwall, but still others decided to leave the Briton entirely and join the few remaining continental celts in what is now Brittany. Shouldn't there language also be P celtic as well?
England , Ireland , Scotland , Wales inside outside inside on . That's how I knew there was a Wales
