isn't that his usual look lol

you could see him actively trying to remember how to speak welsh as he spoke lol

@@Xionaga I think he had to stay up like 2 hours past his bedtime to do this

IIRC it was 1130 pm for him but he usually sleep by 10 pm, plus he already rode the bike for a whole day, so yeah.

Bro, I'm also thinking the same thing. He had like 300k subs and that was like a HUUUGGGEEE milestone back then.

Wild.

omg yeah haha

Well not to me.

Man I remember that! that was ages ago

That's just Mouse being tsundere

She called it Alphabet soup language

She's just mad that all her oshi came from Wales

She used to call welsh alphabet soup language lol

I nearly peed myself laughing from reading this.

Ya he only mentioned some Chris guy 2:49 who tf is that? 🤔 Isn't that Barry Chopsticks?

@@Matthew_Y It's Mouse disguise...

IT’s Sunday Times best selling author OKAY

Makes sense. In English the word pub comes from "Public House" and essentially came to be as medieval housewives sold their excess homebrewed ale. Make it a proper business and add wine and cider and such to the menu, and you met what was the definition of a tavern back then. (Add places to sleep and a bigger emphasis on food and you got an Inn)

It certainly is a rather odd coincidence of languages considering as far as I'm aware the word "tavern" originates from Latin and Welsh is part of the completely unrelated Celtic language group.

​@@datmanydocrisit seems to be to be a loan word from Latin. Since brythonic, the ancestor of modern welsh, was spoken all over england when it was occupied by the Romans.

@@datmanydocris Rome did rule the area for a long while, so it wouldn't be surprising if there were some blending. After all, modern English is a blend of the Germanic Old English and Romantic Norman French

@@datmanydocris Not completely unrelated, they have a common ancestor around 3000-4000 years ago i think

LMAO

They doxxed him?

@@thaa1552 Connors usually very private about personal info. When he did Whales trivia for Joeys show he got nervous when Joey brought up a city close to where he grew up. But they straight up asked him where he’s from and he said for the first time he’s from Mold. So not really doxing him but asking him personal info right away which might be awkward 😅😂.

Yeah I am lucky to know 2 languages from my childhood much like joey. Now after experiencing trying to learn English to native level I feel like I will not going to even try picking up new language for at least 5 years😅 Just fyi English is my third language

I know 4 languages, all varying in skill. Master, intermediate, conversational and beginner. So I definitely wouldn't say I'm a polyglot

​@@toonbax3- That qualify you as Multi-lingual but not a Polyglot.

@@inisipisTV Yeah! I for sure agree on that

Oh shit. I just need 1 more then.

Most fantasy languages tend to originate from Welch. It's a pretty common thing (Elden Ring also uses Welch) although lotr definitely took direct inspiration.

Sindarin being the one influenced by Welsh, while Quenya being influenced by Finnish.

I've always heard it's Finnish, as Tolkien absolutely loved Finnish for some reason, and the Norse mythology in general, as LOTR basically reads like a Norse fanfic. :P

The only thing Nordic in LOTR are the Rohirrim and Rohan. Everything else is taken directly from the Welsh triads known as the Mabinogi.

Elves are from Norse myth, Dwarves are from Norse myth, Middle earth is a take on Midgard, he takes plenty from Norse myth.

English too XD

@@RHTQ1 thats fine we all use english words in welsh sentences we dont always have a word we can use:)

being multilingual sure is something

@@rollzmoist5061 Is code switching a big thing in Wales? Where part of a sentence will be in English and the rest in Welsh?

@@ordinarykits not so much part of a sentence, more like words or terms we dont have a direct translation for. also most Welsh people speak English too so we understand if we slip between languages, its not to big a deal for the most part. hope this helps:)

Gaelic wasn’t! Brythonic (British, known as Welsh in English) and Finnish were.

@@WalesTheTrueBritons Where in the movies is Finnish used?

Really? I thought they were speaking Quenya.

for a hot minute, I thought you were talking about the israeli defense force.

​@@Cantbearsed447 I believe his mom is ethnically welsh and his father is english with at least some scottish ancestry

well, those two are celtic languages and English is germanic with a shit ton of French in it

@@nightspicer yeah i get that but both origins are from overseas and the the 2 countries share a land border with england and have been ruled by england for almost 1000 years at this point

They're not only quite different from English, but each other as well. Scottish is a type of Gaelic language whereas Welsh is a Brittonic language. Both are Celtic and have a few similarities, but overall are very different.

​@@mcgoldenblade4765 Well, there is also the Lowland Scots language which is a Germanic language close to English which is far more widely spoken in Scotland than Gaelic, the latter which is really only confined to the Outer Western Isles nowadays and a handful of urban enclaves.

You should hear Hebrew and Arabic, despite both being semitic languages. While you still can.

Oi now if we were going to have a king (or queen), it'd be a descendent of Glyndwr. Somebody with too much time on their hands would know who that is. As it is, Cymru is more anti-monarchist than not these days.

he comes from a family of sorcerers so that might be possible.

No.

JRR Tolkien beloved it beautiful, and he knew far more about languages than anyone us. Your comment is just degrading and designed to shame Their children into not speaking it.

@@WalesTheTrueBritons so I should be saying I don’t like it instead of that I do like it? FYI I get the same vibe when listening to Norwegian or Danish since the Swedish language is fairly similar to theirs and vice versa. The only reason I find Welsh to be notable enough to mention is because I in fact can not understand what it says. Their pronunciations are similar enough to make me believe I’m listening to Swedish or otherwise which I find to be kinda neat but it does throw my head for a loop the moment I try to understand what’s being said because although it sounds so similar it’s not a language I understand. My comment was not designed to shame children into not speaking it, it was designed to highlight the fact that it throws my head in a loop, quite extremely so while also keeping a mild humorous tone with rather clear exaggerations though I suppose everyone has different type of humour and tone is quite hard to transfer over text but I shall not apologize because as far as I’m concerned I did nothing wrong. Additionally I truly don’t care what an author has to say about a language. Far as I’m concerned it adds nothing to your argument outside of being a cool little fact on the side which I admittedly enjoy. If you have any more Tolkien facts then please, indulge me. Let me make it clear, I am not being sarcastic, I just happen to love random pieces of information

@@WalesTheTrueBritons I think you high bruh, nowhere is his comment did I get the vibe you're claiming.

Yes! The whole Arthurian lineage comes from Wales, but was, like everything else taken and co-opted by France and England. The later still does it to this day!

I dunno man - I would say English sounds more kinda Germanic/Scandi to people that don’t know it. Celtic languages are a slightly different beast

Though surfer in USA isn't the same as surfer in Australia. I'm assuming USA since you said Texan heh

The UK is like insane at cutting off from well known trends my sister is in her 30s and doesn't know him either people don't keep up with online culture that much here as adults usually it's like an old fashioned way that's sorta stuck around probably change with my Gen though

That’s because the only view of the language is through fantasy setting, so in their mind it seems fake. Welsh is always used in fantasy settings, even though most people don’t even realise it.

Tbf he probably takes it in good faith I absolutely love welsh I think it's fascinating same for scottish gaelic, irish gaelic, Manx and cornish they all fascinate me

Its so unique to me how most leagues keep the original pronunciations for names and companies cause and here in brazil we say it like iultubi, tikitoki, feicibuki and so on

Nice!

What'd you call me?

@@British_Rogue mb I'm bad at spelling like everything that should be easy to remember

@@Idontknowwhatthisshouldbe Heh. No worries. One time (in school) I forgot how to spell the word 'the'. Like, a complete mind-fart moment.

Ro'n i'n meddwl oedd y 'whales' yna'n fwriadol 😭

That's the best part! That is how it started (I think)

Basque is right there

Yep, only other that’s compatible is Basque. Irish is nowhere near as old! Even though Academia wants it to be.

Probably because “Old English” was created by the Druids of Wales for the incoming Saxons which was loosely based on the Latin, Brythonic (Welsh) etc. of the period.

The Welsh are the British!!! Look up the origin of the name, it eventually comes back to Prydain, The P and D mutate to become B and T. The Anglo (English) are geographically British! Only used said term since early 1700s

Loads of people in Ireland speak Irish, There are a lot of efforts to keep Welsh alive. Only Scottish Gaelic is struggling in your list.

S4C is a Welsh language TV channel..most Welsh people, like Connor, also speak English.

And the effort from there to keep it is very admirable. Should definitely get more respect, but obviously having a nation the size and outlook o England next to them is very difficult. Anyone would struggle having them as neighbours, ask Scotland too!

It’s not a “secret” language, for hundreds of years we were beaten if we spoke it and had to wear a board around our necks to shame us, but over the recent years, we are increasing the amount of welsh speakers
