😀I live in Chubut-Patagonia. My ancestors came from Wales and since then, we are still here. It is very exciting to read your comments. This video is beautiful. Thank you so much. Greetings to all the brothers around the world.

There are more Welsh settlements outside of Chubut: Darwin, in Río Negro and some families in Coronel Suárez, in Buenos Aires Province. Welsh people is highly appreciated and are considered one of the subcultures of Argentina.

Thank you for this. from what Ive understood about the welsh patagonians, that was pretty accurate👍 It's weird, I live in Australia and have just recently had one of my songs do quite well in Argentina (called LIE by Gregg Humphreys) my song, (mostly played in Buenos Aires though I think) being played way over there where my Grandparents were born & grew up as part of that community in the Chubut valley before coming to Australia.☺

The Welsh are a proud people. Stories like this serve to prove the UK, or 'Great Britain' is a political construct not a 'country'.

[@pavan923]

I never even understood why the English decided to call their union as "Great Britain". How much of an ego did they have to have to call themselves Great?

[@aigeneratedwauigi2696]

@@pavan923 the island was already called Great Britain

[@aldozilli1293]

​@@pavan923It's not ego it's because Britain was 'Brittany' in France and the rest of the Britons lived in Greater Britanny or effectively Great Britain. Great in the past meant large, not Great as in we're the best suckers 😂

I'm envious of your channel because I'm trying to make educational content like you. You really make great and engaging history videos. If you keep it up, your channel is going to explode in growth

[@randomhistory3362]

Cheers mate :)

[@castlegate2015]

I was once on a bus passing through Rawson and did think then that everyone looked Welsh. 😅

[@Jamestele1]

I love travelling to see other cultures, places, etc. If I found this by accident it would have tripped me out, hearing a South American say "Prynhawn da, shamae?"

[@asdrubalanibal6853]

There’s a whole Welsh Argentine Region, mostly (but not only) in Chubut Province.

[@sdrawk3611]

There is also an Afrikaans-speaking community in Chubut, but they aren't doing anywhere near as well....

[@marc66ist]

Towns..or province rather

[@freddiemedley5580]

To think in another world this video would be about the Welsh trying to keep there colonie of Pallestine

[@randomhistory3362]

That would certainly be an interesting one given the current situation over there haha

You need to learn to enunciate your word better. For anyone who doesn’t have an Australian accent, you’re slurring your words.
