@Simon England doesn't seem particularly reasonable to assume someone has no knowledge about a place just because they're not _there._ Less knowledge, sure, but enough to potentially form a valid opinion.

You sound like you have a big chip on your shoulder and don't have a clue about Welsh history or culture. You didn't watch this video at all, you just saw the title and came in to show your anti Welsh hatred. Why did you move to North Wales in the first place? Probably because your family saw cheap houses in Clan thingy bob.
I'm a Kiwi and as a backpacker in Australia in 1990 I worked with 2 Welsh guys picking apples. One stage I couldn't understand what they were saying to each other. Then I found out they were speaking Welsh. I was both impressed and jealous since I couldn't speak mine and my mum's native Maori language.
Depending on how you interpret 'Welsh way of life', an individual's answer can be quite different. I tend to interpret it as what national institutional and cultural events that whilst they may be completely unrelated to one's way of earning money/career, do provide the framework for positions in society to be aspired to and 'be somebody'. As a Welsh speaking Welshman growing up, our annual national events included things like (but not limited to) the Urdd Eisteddfod,. the chapel Gymanfa, the Royal Welsh Show and the countless local ones, the National Eisteddfod, local Eisteddfods, Gwyl Cerdd Dant, Noson Lawen and much more. Some events have wained in their popularity and others have become more popular. I left Wales for Japan in 1991 at 22 years old and so never got the chance to participate in the 'who's who' game of 'important' Welsh people in society. Not that everyone chooses to participate of course.
It cracks me up as my mum's family is from a town in the valleys just north of the town we live in at the mouth of the same valley. Yet we joke about how rough it is, and my mum will tell us how we're all softies down here etc. The two towns are less than 8 miles apart. 😅
Welsh people have also called it soccer. Their football code is primarily Rugby Union. My father was ten years old in Ammanford at this time and he's only ever called it soccer.
Over the centuries Wales, Scotland and England have become a mixed race of each other, even the great singer Tom Jones is predominantly English, so the only things that define differences are a different historical timeline and timeline. North Walians speak different Welsh to South Walians. I've seen an official map from the 1600s with Cornwall being South Wales and Wales recorded as North Wales. Times change. I'm British despite being born in London. I have the blood of all the UK in me. If you have more than one, are you not too?!?
The Welsh of north and south Wales is essentially the same. Written Welsh is the 'standard' Welsh and that doesn't vary according to region.. The South Walians do tend to use specific words that are typically only found in southern Wales, but Wales has a vast vocabulary with different words to describe the same thing and this can vary from village and towns in the same area. E.g. 'llaeth' and 'llefrith' for milk. This is one of the things that makes the Welsh language unique and here in Japan, there are two universities that teach and study Welsh because of this apparently very unusual dense concentration of dialects in a comparatively very small area.
Mother was welsh, she's dead now best favour ever did for me as a lifetime of emotional abuse. Not great advertisement for welsh people. Most cannot speak their own language.
The language was persecuted and outlawed, much like native Gaelige the Irish language. Hundreds of years of English oppression will do that to a culture
I'm English but I'm glad the Welsh, especially in the North, still preserve the language.
Such a lovely accent
I'm an American with a Welsh mother. This was very interesting, thank you. I would've been happy if this were an hour long!

wonderful culture and unique people largely of Celtic origin, full of talent and a once persecuted language
Not persecuted now though

Someone born in Somali simply has to stand on Welsh soil and they instantaneously become just as Welsh as anyone in this film. Apparently.

To me, Wales.. it looks a bit like England.
Well, New South Wales - bits of it do look like South Wales.
Weird how they need to be replaced with Islam.

The history of the British isles is that if several waves of foreign immigration. All nationalism is temporary, transient and mythical.
