- Explaining Wales, the country which confuses many. I said cymru (come-ree) wrong, I've said it right before but I mentally say it the wrong way so sorry Welsh people please forgive me

I'm from Dublin. A number of years back, myself and my girlfriend were driving through the Welsh countryside for about two hours when we finally had to admit we were lost. We admitted defeat and knocked at a small farmhouse to ask for directions. A small woman with a red apron opened the door. After calling to her husband (presumably the farmer) they invited us into their home, made us the most delicious breakfast we'd had for a long time, followed by a pot of hot tea, chatted to us for about an hour, before sending us on our way with the right directions. They couldn't have been more friendly. For some reason I can't imagine an event like that happenening in England. Myself and my girlfriend have since married and have returned to Wales every year ever since. Beautiful countryside, beautiful people.
If you got lost you probably ended up in England
Shoemy, diolch. It’s a lovely place to be, the feeling , the culture, the feeling ... it’s great. Visit Tregaron and the mountains. Also Aberystwyth and devils bridge!🙂😌😌☺️
It would happen in England. It happened because you was in the countryside. Wouldn’t happen in Cardiff
Awwwe me mysellf is from wales and that means a lot
You got lucky. There are good and bad people everywhere.
Mae'n ddrwg gen i, but 'it was never really distinct from England'? It had its own language, culture, customs, LAWS, (Hywel Dda, anyone?), rulers, etc for centuries before England even existed. The country didn't just pop into existence in 1283.

I’m not far enough in school to be able to translate this (King James the 1st united England and Scotland)
What happened was that the king of Scotland became the next king of England, but the countries stayed separate. The parliaments were united a century or two later but Scotland kept its own legal system, administration etc.
Wales wasn't part of England because it was 'similar', that's actually pretty insulting.... Wales was conquered in 1290 it 'swore alliegence to England' because it was subjugated and oppresed much like Ireland. In the 1500s the principality of Wales was submerged into the Kingdom of England.
the welsh are also the descendants of the original people of england
As are most of the people of England
As for being a principality that's what the English decided not the Welsh we have had our own kings now we're stuck with an English Prince of Wales which I'm sorry to say was not to please the Welsh it was to rub our noses in it and they've been doing it ever since
@@jamieevans3666 No England, but Britain.
@@timphillips9954 oh sorry honest mistake though there ancestors still lived in england
Wales is 100% it's own country. Is that even debatable? It makes up one of three countries of the UK and while its history is deeply linked to that of England and a huge amount of its population are from English decent Wales should never be considered not a country.
Thomaslawlet Actually...there are more people in England of Welsh descent than Welsh people in Wales of English descent. There are over 350,000 that know of their Welsh ancestry in London alone. And the Welsh have strong lineage in other major English cities like Liverpool, and Bristol.
Nada Barton huh cool fact, did not know that.
Thomaslawlet Go to Wikipedia and put in Welsh Americans and Welsh English...
American People include those like...
Frank Lloyd Wright. (Considered America's greatest ever Architect)
George Henry Thomas. (Civil War General)
Joshua Humphreys. (Architect and Inventer)
Meriweather Lewis. (Explorer)
Jesse and Frank James. (Outlaws)
Jack Daniels. (Created Jack Daniels Whiskey)
John Adams. (President)
Thomas Jefferson.(Author and President)
David Thompson. (Considered the greatest land cartographer in history)
Abraham Lincoln. (President)
Samuel Hughes. (Politician and Chef)
Martha Hughes Cannon. (First female American politician)
Christopher Lloyd. (Actor)
Chris Evans. (Actor)
Bob Hope. (Singer and actor)
Leslie Nielson. (Comedic Actor)
English include those like...
Adele. (Singer)
Clive Owen. (Actor)
Lee Evans. (Actor and Comedian)
David Jason. (Comedic Actor)
David Bowie. (Singer)
Alan Rickman. (Actor)
John Lennon. (Singer)
John Nash. (Designed Buckingham Palace)
Seriously...there are hundreds of famous Welsh Americans and Welsh English. Problem is that like American education system being ignorant about us...our education system is also ignorant about Welsh Americans. Btw, This is without the hundreds of major Welsh born people. People should be extremely proud to be Welsh (and even more so considering what the Welsh have been through)
Nada Barton to be fair the whole of the east coast of America was populated by England, Wales and Ireland migrants so it's not surprising that a lot of them would be Welsh but sadly I doubt many know it. Wales tends to be a country that's forgot about :/ Its a culture I really need to look into more. Actually if you're Welsh I was planning on visiting the country in the near future any recommendations? It would be more south coast though.
Thomaslawlet Well, personally...I think West and North West Wales is by far the prettiest (besides the Brecon Beacons in South Wales). One of the Beaches on the West coast was actually voted as one of the top ten beaches in the world.
The South east of Wales is more like England than Wales unfortunately...North West Wales is definitely the place to see real Welsh culture!
i am actually very offended by you saying that england and wales are the same as i'm welsh and i am very different from english people as we don't get on very well and behn nevis in scotland is way bigger
Wales and England are exactly the same mate. I'm Welsh too.
@@770yd are you mad... come to north wales where in my town 99.7% of us dont speak English first. Os Cymraeg ydachi cymera amser I ddysgu y iaith a ma hyna yn ddod o boi o teulu seusnag.
@@dafyddhir4940 Name me 10 differences between Wales and England, you won't. And North Wales is a bigger shithole than here in the South, no one speaks Welsh but the North lmao.
@@770yd ok so starting off can you name 10 reasons Austria and Germany are different countries? Considering Prussia wanted them to become part of a United germany and they share an undeniable amount of historical ties right from the time of pre German Unification. ANYWAY... if you look at why the majority of Welsh dont speak Welsh do you not wonder why? Considering Welsh was spoken right to the border of scotland though liverpool originally? Due to oppression of the language over many years e.g the Welsh knot which was put on children who spoke welsh. " by the way my dad was a ww2 evacuee from Salford manchester and never got taught welsh and welsh kids COULDNT speak welsh " Im first generation Welsh and the Welsh people are different. Myself being from an English family support the UK but to say that Wales is the same as England is just going to separate Welsh people.from the UK more
@@dafyddhir4940 You don't need to try and explain why people don't speak Welsh because I know my history probably more than you chap not to mention I have ancestors who were forbidden to speak Welsh as well. You really are deluded, it's people like you who prance around talking about the ever so differences between Wales and England who votes for Plaid Cymru or Labour lmao. You couldn't be more wrong about my opinions because I want nothing more than unity to remain between our 4 nations, there is no divide apart from arseholes like yourself tearing it apart.
Wales was a country it was annexed by Henry the 8th. If you do your research Wales never became part of the UK it was just claimed by Henery the 8th. Technically Wales and England are still at war!
Yep! As under international law on dethroned monarchies - they can exist indefinitely as long as said Kingdom flies a flag in protest (Flag of Cadwalladr - C.655) The English crown couldn't unite legally with Wales as Owain Glyndwr took the De Jure title with him when he went into hiding. This fact is often downplayed for political purposes.
@@taffyducks544
Welsh names sound like they’re from elder scroll
@@pauljoyko5320 Wales and Welsh has been used as inspiration for literary works that ended up as games. The Witcher, for example, had a fair bit that was inspired by Wales. Even the main character, Geralt, is derived from the Welsh name Gerallt. Geralt is how an English person might pronounce the name. JRR Tolkien was a huge admirer of the Welsh language and used parts of it as the basis for the Elvish language. When I watched the movies, Hugo Weaving saying Isildur sounded very Welsh to me (sounded more like Isildwr).
Conquered and Annexed in 1282 actually, Edward l. Not at war! 🤦
you forgot our anthem btw since in England the song is about the king/queen but in wales its about the nation itself and also there is a separate anthem to every country in the uk
Nero Pop same XD
History of Cymru's concept of nationhood:
-Westernmost Brittonic Celtic kingdoms: 410 CE - 1057 CE
-The States of the Welsh Princes: 1057-1284 CE
-Principality of Wales: 1284 - 1535 CE
-Annexed into English law/mock nation 1535 CE - 1998 CE
-Devolved nation/country 1998 CE - present
Where's the kingdom of gwynedd
This video needs revising. Your knowledge may seem good but is very wrong. You need a Welsh person to comment on Wales not someone who does not live there. Valiant effort but very flawed and inaccurate.
Agree. Flawed, inaccurate, terrible jerky visuals and somehow makes an interesting subject boring.
Im from wales (cardiff) and ive never had a problem or heard other people say they have a problem with the north side of wales
Macs Does Fi bwy caerydd?
Im from the North and we dont have an issue with South Waleans theyre awesome
@@mbrinhugh3910 The whole "North Wales", "South Wales" thing is just another divide and conquer tactic. True, before 1283, there wasn't a united Wales, rather independent kingdoms within what is now Wales, but there hasn't been any actual division into North and South Wales, which is why it is impossible to state where the boundary is.
It's just Wales. One country. We're all the same people. We may have slight regional variations in the language, but that's true of anywhere in the world.
I wouldn't say north and south have a problem it's just friendly rivalry ... but if one day your friend starts speaking with an accent from the other side, you're going to hate them until they start talking normally again (I'm from the south)
@@mbrinhugh3910 have you been to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwerndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?
wales is a country because we in wales say so
Wales isn't a country, it will be only a country if it becomes a independent sovereign state with a head of state, at the moment Wales has the same status as for example Texas USA, Bavaria Germany, Hokkaido Japan and Victoria Australia regions that are part of a current sovereign state.
It's different for the UK though, it's a union between different countries that form a bigger sovereign nation.
AdamTheMan1993 No thats wrong
a country can be a country if the people who live there say so
Kieran Jenkins Nope lol
Dude. No offence but you don't know what you're talking about. Welsh hsitory is a very complex subject . Welsh history started before the english nation was a twinkle in germanys eye.
lol no. No such thing as Wales at that time lol. Welsh nation was a twinkle in iberian peninsula since the celts came from there. somehow everyone has to come from somewhere.
Tang Sen ............................... Iberian?
@@LoverGetamped Nope, the Iberian peninsula was nothing but a Celtic outpost. The people who are known as Welsh in the English speaking world have been in Wales in one form or another since atleast 650bc. The same people who controlled most of the area that would become England was there since 1200bc. You need to lwrn where the Welsh (Cymro, Kwmro) actually come from.
It's not rocket science...Galilee, Galipoli, Galatians, Gaul, Gael, Galles, Gales, Galicians, 😂😉
They are called Gael up in Scotland because of their Welsh connection, not their Irish. If the Irish founded all the major Scottish cities, why did they use old Welsh?! (Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh all come from old Welsh - Look up the Hen ogledd)) If the Welsh founded them, why didn't the Irish change the names from Brythonic (now known as Welsh) to Gaelic?! (now known as Irish) because the Irish connection is favoured out of Some serious histories attributed and attached to the Welsh and Scots.
People from Pembrokeshire 'Little England beyond Wales' they felt more 'aligned with England' because the English displaced the native Welsh from there and replaced them with English people when Wales was conquered by England. Just one of many crimes in our country by the English :)
Jamie Davies the English never conquered Wales try Normans conquered Wales as they conquered England. And if you look deeper into it Wales never got conquered the only thing the Normans did was built castles in Wales the people were never conquered because we still speak Welsh if we were truly conquered the first thing that goes is the native language and it didn't
Jamie Davies people from Pembrokeshire had a DNA test and found that they were in fact Welsh the English DNA as since been eradicate!
Same with Chester.
I am from Pembrokeshire myself and the reason that this part of wales is mostly aligned with England is due to the massive historical military presence due to the key ports of Pembroke and Milford Haven (the deepest naturally occurring harbour in Europe or something) which was only made bigger by the attempted French invasion. Also my favourite English war crime against us was when they liquidated their prisons on us before the final invasion. Some interesting history about the English invasion can be learnt from the song Men Of Harlech and how it came to be.
proud to be welsh!
Farmer hannon Dwin hoffi Cymru! 🏴

the google translate for welsh sucks
Vintr indeed
I went to a welsh school and my teacher could tell if I copy pasted and google translated my homework cause it would change half of my work to something else
IKR
The reason is how different welsh is from place to place. Welsh children were punished for speaking welsh in school with a rope tied around their neck with " welsh knot " carved into it. So welsh wasnt taught as a national thing and every area speaks differently.
IKR it sucks
Ibx2cat - you are wrong, my friend. Not only was Wales a separate country, with its' own Princes (Owain Glyndwr, for example) but it formerly included much of Northern England & the West Country. It's a Celtic country, whose history is hundreds of years older than that of England.
Wales doesn't do good in the cup but we go further than England
ifan sharkeyVlogs we did well in the euros , alot better than england

10:23 It always amuses me how the Welsh community in LlanfairPG tricked the English into visiting their town by making up a really long name they knew they wouldn't understand. It's next level trolling.
I know its such a funny story.
It’s not true
@@lewisharrison923it is? It was Llanfairpwllgwyngyll then they added the rest cause why not
At one time Wales extended into Scotland and all the way across to the east and south coast. Which makes Wales the oldest and once largest country within the UK
Oh no. He said the Welsh football team don't do good. And England were beat by Iceland...
To be fair, it's only quite recently that our team has improved. They were ranked around 100th less than a decade ago.
Bilbo Baggins haha well said mate
Well if your beat by Iceland that means England sucks
Bill Trent England got to the semi finals in the World Cup where did you come? Huh? Haha you didn’t even qualify
TheTonyModesteArmy we got into the semi finals of the euros and you didn’t make it into the quarters. Plus, the only reason we didn’t qualify was because a lot of our key players were injured. Also, we’re second IN THE WORLD at Rugby. AND, we’ve got Daniel James now, so sukmadiqfam, as your chavs would say.
Dude! Firstly BREATH! I can’t understand you. Secondly please get your facts straight, England invaded Wales and made us slaves. Never has there been a decide between the North and the South. Also North Wales has more tourists because of its beauty. Do your research first then come back to us with a video. And don’t forget to take a breath!!!
To put it short: Wales is not England and we have differences. :)
Wales Is a country, its an older country than England u should learn history before you try to teach it
Older culture and People who came together only when a greater threat was around. Then would go back to fighting each other. Nothing ever changes huh?! Officially, it was united as a Kingdom in 1057. So as a Kingdom, it's actually younger than England.
Technically no, the Welsh people have lived in Britain since long before the English, but Wales as a unified country is actually not as old as the unified country of England.
@@sugondese5497 I will conceed that u r right there welsh people lived Wales , but when u think about that which is now called Wales was named that by the English people who were trying at the time and eventually did conquer them, so even if they were not there as the "Welsh " becausethat is a word used for them by saxons and Normans,. my point was they would have been there first as a people who had a common, shared heritage and language, so that's my whole point, we were here b4 them and they came and renamed us
and he didn't mention how for centuries wales was one of the few nations that was still divided into many kingdoms which is what the current counties are based upon. Btw the kingdoms used to go to war against each other and when a king died the land was split between all of his children. oh and there were some great rulers like Hywel Dda (translated to Hywel the great) who introduced women rights 1000 years before it was reintroduced. and more ect
we should talk more about Hywel Dda/Hywel The Good. His laws were well before their time. not many people seem to know about him.
the pronunciation of Carmarthen had me weak lmao
So why do I hear this "country of countries" Instead of multi-national state. The UK is a state, England, Scotland and Wales are nations. Northern Ireland can decide if it is a nation or part of the Irish nation.
Multi-national state has a good ring to it.
Because it is a union of three countries plus Northern Island .
Did you know the language Welsh has been around a lot longer than most Languages!
Lucy Honey-Hall
Yes it was
You should have mentioned Monmouthshire. For years no one was really sure if it was part of Wales or England. Like you said about the borders, it didn't matter during the period where there wasn't really any legal distinction between England and Wales.
But then when they did start making laws specific to Wales they had to decide which it should belong to. They picked Wales obviously.
Let's just say that the majority of people in Monmouthshire knew where their allegiance lay!
England - country
Scotland - country
*Wales - **-principality-** country*
Northern Ireland - country/province (depends on who you ask)
No your wrong Scotland-country Wales- country England,- shit hole
Cornwall ?
george waite tbh I think there should be a referendum for every country/province that voice an opinion to fuck off, even if there isn’t a representative in parliament.
Wales hasn't been a principally for more than 300 years, don't write about stuff you know nothing about
I think one thing you've missed out that Wales is still a country under annexation. So it is technically a separate country under occupation.
Yep! As kingdoms can exist indefinitely under international law on dethroned monarchies as long as flag flies in protest.
Unfortunately many Welsh and English people are unaware of this. This is the main reason why the UK was created. To make it seem we are all the same so we accept dominion.

Canadians speak french. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
they all speak welsh since the 3rd world war and wales became independent and took over the world
Welsh and proud, also you zoomed into where I live and I got hyped up for some reason
The Welsh invaded and defeated England at the battle of Bosworth. Henry Tudor (a Welshman with a Welsh army) started the Tudor dynasty and had to then reinvent England (as they were crushed as a nation) to get them to fight the French.. which he did.
Wales is not a part of England, Wales invaded England, re-invented the English, ran the country for hundreds of years (the English rugby symbol is still the Tudor Rose), and then generations later merged these two nations.
English people are looking the wrong way down the telescope when they talk about Wales.
We are your masters.
Funny way of thinking about it.
Technically the english rugby symbol is a Lancaster Rose not a Tudor Rose.
I'm glad you've shown of my country to your viewers because wales is my city

@@engtilde Yes, because the shaded areas show the percentage of Welsh speakers in areas that are relatively sparsely populated.For instance,Caernarfon has 87.4% of its population speaking Welsh - but that's out of a population that only numbers 5,283 individuals .

Wales*
Bath is my city...
There’s no excuse for ignorance. Cymru am byth met. We were here before the Romans. We are the indigenous Britons.
Welsh has peculiar children
Nonsense. Wales was a separate entity from the end of the Roman period up until 1283 when it was conquered by a Anglo Norman king. We had distinct laws up until 1536 which were significantly more progressive than English laws. No capital punishment, women having legal rights from the 10th C etc etc. Wales where it hasn’t been colonised and anglicised is the most distinctly different part of the Uk compared to England. The principality ended in the 16th century it is no longer one and the use of Prince in Wales was distinct from the meaning in feudal England and derived from the link between Roman Britain and Wales being a series of successor states where Prince simply meant principle leader
oh wales has the smallest city in the uk aka Bangor (technically a city of 13000 people)

Eh, I wouldn't really say so. English culture is a lot closer to Welsh than Argentine. And apparently there's no people in Chubut who actually speak Welsh as a first language any more, though there is a revival scheme ongoing.

Do Ireland next please some people find it confusing
I agree, Ireland is definitely one of the countries that I've seen a lot of people not know much about, at least where I live, in the US, which makes some sense, there's no reason for people to have to know about a country on a completely different continent, but it would still be nice to see a video about that.
Cian crowley I've never heard of anyone confused by Ireland
Lucky Charms anyone???
(There is no such thing)
The only reason not many people speak welsh is due to oppression of the welsh language. The welsh knot was a punishment in school for talking welsh. A knot tied around he neck of a child with welsh knot carved into it.

bobcoolbobyeah im from pwllheli , and every one pronounces it with a deep uu, everyone i know
You confuse nation with country, the UK consists of three nations, often called "home nations" and a single province (N Ireland), thus Wales, Scotland, and England are nations and Northern Ireland is a province, The nations of England and Wales were first defined in the first act of union at which time "technically" Wales was annexed, from that time on there is no legal distinction between the two, interestingly the Tudors were Welsh and the annexation was not entirely unwelcome for various reasons... Great Britain is a country ;)
The "countries" in the island of Great Britain are countries. Northern Ireland is a province. Guernsey, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, etc are overseas territories. Like Guam to the US. Or French Guiana to France.
GermanyBall indeed
we only call them countries because that's their historical name, state sounds weird
Isle of man, Guernsey and Jersey are technically not overseas territories, they're crown dependent not actually apart of the uk. It's wierd
I'm from Wales, I dont think Wales has any claim to be a country it's never existed as an independent united entity
This kid litrally dosent have a clue what he is talking about!
What about Cornwall?
Ryan Kirby You're WELSH
North and South Wales both like each other theres legit no problems between them
We visited Wales last summer and were appalled by the lack of off licenses and kebab shops and especially toilets. We were compelled to bring several rolls from Bradford.
"Most similar to England"? Bloody hell. How to insult every Welsh person whilst being utterly clueless.
Wales in sport do very well for a 3 million population country!
Just so you know, there is barely a rivalry between North and South Wales at all. The rivalry (and deep rooted hatred) is towards England.
Wales was a country far longer than 300 years! Even the Romans saw it as a separate country and it was independent long before that. The ancient Britons spoke a close form of Welsh. Know your history! You were owned by the French.
Wales should be independent we can afford too be and we should be. It would stop Americans calling us England.
Wales do well at football these days
10:44 A book? You keep off-handedly mentioning books you've written like very occasionally, and just like don't say any more about it. Where could we find these books? What are they about? Is there a way I could purchase and read these books? I know you're kind of trying to keep them separate from the youtube thing, for whatever reason, but that's just making me want to find out about them even more. Could you please talk about them, or tell us what they're called or something? If you don't, I'll respect that and won't keep asking, but I would really like to know if you are willing to say. :)
Wales is so misunderstood that if you're not Welsh or were not brought up in Wales then you should probably outsource somebody who it or was if you're going to make a video about them
England wants Wales back just as much as Ireland wants Northern Ireland back
ireland doesn't really want northern ireland back, it's too expensive for them
This is video is obviously done by some one who don't 100% what Wales is actually like and must say you have very English mind set when it come to Wales which is probably not your fault.
i agree but it isn't his fault since in wales were taught to love our nation and all
The northern part of Wales looks like a man with a hat pointing to ireland
What application does he use for the map? Is it just google maps on the internet or something else?
Wales doesn't have its own national cricket team.
