    For those that think I said only 1% speak Welsh. No. That’s not what I said.
    when I said 99% of people speak English, that doesn’t mean only 1% speak Welsh. It means that 99% of the people can speak and understand English. Believe it or not, some people can speak multiple languages so just because most people speak and understand English in Wales, doesn’t mean they can’t speak Welsh. Didn’t think I would have to explain that, but next time I’ll be sure to elaborate 🤦🏽‍♂️

    There is a Welsh inscription in the Washington memorial in DC: A stone at the 240-foot level of the monument is inscribed in Welsh: Fy Iaith, Fy Ngwlad, Fy Nghenedl, Cymry am byth (My Language, My Country, My Nation, Welsh forever).

    hi James, interesting video especially them trying the welsh language lol! America could have been a welsh speaking country because 5 of the founding fathers were welsh who signed the declaration of independence, wanted to get away from England and everything English, and at your national monument in Washington at about the 240 foot level there's an inscription in stone that reads in welsh, Fy laith, Fy ngwlad, Fy Nghenedl, cymru am byth ( my language, my country, my nation, wales forever. so your mother tongue could have gone either way!

    I love Wales. I'm from England; just over the bridge, but spent a lot of time in Wales as a kid. We used to holiday in a little bay called Parrog in Pembrokeshire every summer. It's a beautiful country and most people are very warm and friendly (even to the English). Also, when I was at school, half of my teachers were Welsh. Many used to travel over the bridge to teach, or moved over for the work. The first Severn bridge was completed when my parents were kids. It transformed Bristol. Nowadays, there are thousands of Welsh people living and working this side of the bridge, and vice-versa. Also, for those who don't know the meaning of the long town name....."Literally translated, the long form of the name means: "[The] church of [St.] Mary (Llanfair) [of the] pool (pwll) of the white hazels (gwyn gyll) near to [lit. "over against"] (go ger) the fierce whirlpool (y chwyrn drobwll) [and] the church of [St.] Tysilio (Llantysilio) of the red cave (-ogo[f] goch)"."

      @@Spnlgrl1985 The national animal of Scotland is the unicorn. It’s hilarious because every other country in the world has some animal that actually lives in their country, that they can see out in the wild and point to and say “That’s our country” about, and protect the ecosystem for it and lead conservation efforts and look out for it, as their national animal... And then there’s Wales and Scotland. Actually, England having a lion as their national animal is pretty silly, too-they definitely don’t live there, either, except in zoos-so I guess the three of them deserve each other.

    • @autumnphillips151

      What bothers me is that people apparently think “Scottish” is a language. There are two living languages from Scotland: the Germanic language Scots and the Goidelic language Scottish Gaelic. I hope that this video doesn’t confuse people into thinking there’s one Scottish language or that those two are interchangeable.

    The best thing about being Welsh is, unlike us, the other UK nations all have a stereotype which Americans think of them as. We just go under the radar (despite many huge Welsh celebrities being present in US culture).

    I think it’s common knowledge that Wales isn’t really talked about in America so I would be surprised if anyone did know tbh. Anyway I love these types of video, I think there really sweet. They all seemed so nice too. Thank you for doing this.

    As a Welshman this was a very up and down video for me. Wasn’t as insulted as I prepared myself to be mainly down to the older couple as they bossed it apart from Psyduck 🤣! Very interesting to watch.. UPPA WALES! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👌🏻

      The inclusion of Psyduck was brilliant! The fact that he chose it even more so. I guess he isn't a gamer, or thought that Wales was a nation of gamers.

      And in assassins creed black flag , most of the main characters are welsh, black bart was from puncheston in pembrokeshire, hywel davis was from fishguard in pembrokeshire, harry morgan was from llanrhymney, and the main fictional character edward kenway was from cardiff,. In the game, kenway was supposed to have a welsh accent,but the game developers decided against it because with the game bring released worldwide no one would know what his accent was and wouldnt be taken seriously,.
