The Welsh dragon isn’t from the romans, but from the story of the battle of the red and white dragon, also the welsh language was nearly eradicated by the punishment of children speaking it with the “Welsh not” and the burning of books ect by the English government, is is a pretty MAJOR fact in the history of Wales that should have been included.

As a Welsh person, I've waited for this video for years! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

When I hear Wales I think of the actor ,Michael Sheen, love him dearly, and yes that awesome flag. Also Doctor Who since it’s filmed in Cardiff.

As a person with English, Irish, Welsh and Maltese Ancestry...Wales is by far one of the most under appreciated countries on the planet. They have punched well above their weight for centuries. A bit soul destroying to hear the same old false narrative about the Saxons pushing the Welsh into Wales through Conquest, which isn't true. Wales was always the power base of the Britons, due to its Topography. What would become known as England was used more as a trade center than for governance.

Very disappointed that when mentioning Welsh Sporting figures there was not a mention of the most famous Welsh boxer Joe Calzaghe who was pound for pound THE best boxer in his division in the world. He won 47 out of 47 fights and retired unbeaten.

Wales is so cool, it has the world's highest concentration of castles!

I lost it at "Badger Face Mountain Sheep" 😄😄😄

To everybody reading this, I hope that whatever is bothering you or that you are continuously worried about improves. May your mind be free of gloomy thoughts, overthinking, and skepticism right now. May clarity triumph over ambiguity. May your life be filled with peace and tranquility.

As a welshman I can safely say I really enjoyed this video made me miss my homeland even more CUMRY AM BYTH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Been study in Abertawe/Swansea 1988-1992, great place

Da iawn met, o'r diwadd fideo am Gymru!!

As a Welsh descendant, Diolch yn fawr for spotlighting fy nhad's country. Also, I love that you made an attempt at pronouncing the unpronounceable Welsh words. Humor and compassion is what bridges the gaps between people

As a welshman i can confirm that it pisses down constantly . Its absolutely bucketing down as i write this post lol😂

Spent 4 years there for uni. Want to move back. Visiting in a couple weeks. It is a beautiful place

Makes me proud to be a Welsh man.

As a Welsh woman I'm looking forward to the pronunciations by the host of this video! 😁 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I've been looking forward to this video for a while though- diolch yn fawr! 👍 Cymru am byth! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Carefully castle! Lmao 🤣

Why no mention of Owain Glyndwr who unified Wales formed a Welsh university, set Welsh Laws and invaded England as far as Oxford. Owain was far more successful than William Wallace (Brave heart). He is seen as a national hero and freedom fighter in the country. His statue can be seen in every major town in Wales and his flag flown across the land.

Another excellent upload! Thanks, Chris!

Yes! I've waited for this for a long time, thank you!

I think you missed an important fact: the UK's first all-volunteer heritage/preservation railway is located in Wales.

The Principality will always be the Millennium Stadium to me. I went as a kid to see Wales beat Italy 2-1 in the football. 🎶 “They say it’s got a sliding roof, that slowly walks away… They slid it back, when Wales attack.. So God can watch them play!”🎶

From the US, spent a couple months in rural /coastal Wales a few years better. Wanted to learn the language but it was just to hard to actually get good enough to use-not an option with most language courses. However-I did manage to learn how the letters in the alphabet were pronounced, and that took like 10 minutes, you could have done that lol Hearing you pronounce dd as d every time was funny. It’s easy, except for ll. I’m convinced it’s the trick they put in to see if you’re Welsh. Loved the video and hearing lots of pop culture type facts.

Thanx for this information ☺️

There are twice as many churches as there are castles in Wales about 1,600. 14 years ago there were 4000 churches . There also exist thousands of chapels .A lot of the closed religious buildings got re-modelled into rather interesting houses.

I'm Welsh and I didn't know half of these facts... Don't teach you this in school that's for sure.. Thank you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Amazing!!

My 5 year old loves these videos thank u so much

Love this so much. You mixed up the daffodil fact. A daffodil is 'Cenin Pedr' and a leek is 'Cenin'

this probably sounds crazy, but i was literally going through my youtube comment history and found a comment on a video of yours from years ago asking for this exact video, then came to your channel just to check it out again bc i used to love it- n saw this !!

Very interesting! I have a lot of Welsh ancestors (apparently) but really know nothing about Wales. Or I guess, knew nothing until now 🙃 Thanks for the info!

We don't call it the principality it's called the melianium stadium

Who is here after they qualified for Fifa World Cup after 64 years⚽️🇮🇳❤

I knew most of the fact because I’m Welsh but I still watched it

Yes

Thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The real descendants of the Romans are the Romance peoples such as the Italians, French, Spaniards, Portuguese and Romanians. There were also enclaves of the Western Roman Empire in the form of the Britto-Roman kingdoms of Gwynedd, Powys, Morgannwg and Rheged. Today they are modern Wales, which in turn is part of Great Britain!

Yes, I learned a lot. Thanks from one of the Jones families in the US.

Happy birthday 🎊🎁🎉🎈🎂

Cool video but just wanted to point out that Daffodil is 'cenhinen bedr' and Leek is just 'cenhinen' 😊

Yes I love this I am from welsh heritage

C is always a k sound like cat or cow mate. E.g that food, cawl, is pronounced more like kawl than sawl.

YES! Diolch yn fawr iawn!

Intresting🤔.

The jokes about "Whales" are old, not funny and disrespectful The name of the town hasn't been shortened. It's basically like a nickname cus we're lazy 22:24 That is incorrect. Before Cardiff it was Aberystwyth. It was Aberystwyth during WW2

I'm Welsh and this was posted on my birthday XD

Didn’t include Owain Glyndwr either. And got leeks and daffodils mixed up. Didn’t mention at one point 1/3 of the worlds coal was from wales at one point nor 1/2 of the worlds slate. Didn’t mention Llywelyn Fawr or Llywelyn ap Olaf. The Aberfan disaster was also missing.

I've never heard ofthis idea of being worthy of enslavement, but Volcae originally was the Germanic word for the Gauls, and later came to mean anyone who was Roman, obviously the Germanic V became a W over time, for example Vinum goes to Wine (cf Walnut - cf Roman nut, Germans didn't have them). Later the Anglo-Saxons used the derivative word Wēalas to refer to Romano-Britons because, well the Britons thought of themselves as Roman, and the Anglo-Saxons thought of the Britons as Roman. The term wouldn't have been applied to Britons in Caledonia who of course had never been Roman. So the correct meaning of Wēalas is Romano-Briton.

I would love to visit Wales sounds like a great place to visit but then again I want to see the entire British Isles...... What is so hard to pronounce these foreign words when they don't have the missing letters that we have

I was born in wales my family is from there

no, cenin pedr is the flower, and cenin is the vegetable

Get your facts right. Cardiff in Welsh is Caerdydd. A combination of fort, as you say but dydd means day and it was believed that it took its name from the Roman fort which was thrown up in one day as the legions were trained to do.

The pronunciations sounds like a hamster in a microwave Remember: F=V Dd=Th (The, There etc.) Ch= blowing air while pronouncing k and Ll=an L sound but you're blowing air

This should be interesting. My last name is Welsh.

Rugby is more popular in the South, especially the Valleys, in the North, Football is more popular.

Now I know wear the McColls fit in.

I noticed a Corgi but I didn't hear it mentioned. It's Welsh and means "Dwarf Dog". Another person who is unknown in Wales and I've mentioned on here many times is "Tecwyn Roberts". Who? Well he was the man who was in charge of the American space programme from the earliest satellites through the Apollo missions to the moon. He also designed "Mission Control" as we see it during launch missions. The BBC made a documentary about him several years ago. It may have been called "The Welsh Rocket Man". He was from Anglesey. David Edward Hughes demonstrated the ability to send messages without wires 12 years before Marconi. He sent a message to the Royal Society no less, but because he wasn't a scientist and couldn't explain to them probably in mathematics they poo poo'd the whole thing. Many years later they realised their mistake and there is a blue plaque on the Royal Society building commemorating him and a prestigious medal is presented in his name for "Scientific Achievement" I believe. See :- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abSgiZmV1rHFg6c.html Somebody needs to do a video about the Welsh influence in the development of America. You wouldn't believe what you'd turn up. More impressive than Jack Daniels.😄
