Welsh
What is Welsh?
Welsh is one of the Celtic languages still spoken, perhaps that with the greatest number of speakers. The only natural communities of speakers are in that part of Britain which is called Wales, and a small colony in Patagonia (in the Chubut province of Argentina), although there are many speakers of Welsh elsewhere, particularly in England and Australia and the United States of America.
Isn't Welsh just a dialect of British English?
No. It is a language that is older than British Engish.

Damn right!
Not sure about the bit in your previous post ('Wales') about there once being a Welsh king before the age of the Welsh Princes.
