It’s so pretty, and it reminds me of Dutch & Old Norse, and Old Norse is a very ancient language, so it makes sense that it gives off ancient / mysterious vibes, because some Welsh words are very similar to Old Norse words, for example, llwybr and filltir remind a lot of Old Norse words because of the word endings and letter combinations, Old Norse also has that mysterious vowel that is only used in pronunciation before the last R in words like vindr / maðr / verðr / seiðr / vetr etc, which isn’t used in spelling in any Germanic language, so I don’t know if it has an official symbol or name (tho a schwa sound can also be used instead of that vowel, especially in singing) and, the ir / nir / tir etc word endings are a staple in both Old Norse and Icelandic, and also Germanic word endings like ed / er / en etc, which are also found in certain Welsh words, plus the overall vibe that Welsh gives off reminds of Old Norse and other Germanic languages, as Welsh has multiple sounds and types of letter combinations and patterns and intonations that are also found in Old Norse and Dutch and English and other Germanic languages, so Welsh can give off strong Germanic vibes, even though the words themselves are pretty different overall!

That would be great! It all depends on volunteers going out and doing the work though. Hopefully some more enterprising people will take up the challenge.

Yea, that would be super helpful as I am trying to learn Scottish Gaelic as well, and all other modern Celtic languages, and both Irish and Scottish Gaelic are a category 3 language, so these two are not as easy as the other 4 modern Celtic languages, which are category 1 languages, so having more videos explaining and teaching them would definitely help a lot - these two are the most difficult languages I’m learning, so they’re a real challenge, but luckily the words themselves are still easy to learn! Hopefully more volunteers will be found that are willing to do those interviews and teach Scottish Gaelic, and also the other less known Celtic languages like Breton / Cornish / Manx / Irish, plus Welsh should have its own Easy yt where more videos would be uploaded, in fact, one doesn’t even have to do mostly interviews, one could make mostly normal videos teaching a lot of words / vocab and grammar and pronunciation rules etc from home, and even interviewing the other team members (as they do in the Easy German videos) and a few videos with actual interviews, because both types of videos are very helpful, actually, and focusing more on vocab is even easier for beginners, and most trying to learn Celtic languages are beginner level because it’s not so easy to find a lot of resources and a lot of videos teaching Welsh and other Celtic languages, as there aren’t that many of them, compared to the number of videos that one can find teaching more known languages such as English and Dutch and German! I managed to get to an advanced level in Dutch really fast, also because there are a lot of vocab videos, so I could easily find many vocab videos with thousands of words and learn thousands of words fast, whereas with Celtic languages it’s not so easy as there are less vocab videos, so I am learning them little by little, and learning more new words as I find more videos teaching them, but it’s still possible to learn them, even if it’s not as easy to find a lot of vocab videos, as long as one has the motivation to learn the language, one will get to a fluent level sooner or later, depending on how popular the language is and on how fast many videos can be found teaching new words and grammar etc, and I have learnt over 1.000 words in Welsh so far (and hundreds of Breton words from lyrics and a few videos teaching them) and I keep revising the words I have already learnt, while also trying to find more new videos, so even my Welsh learning is going pretty well, even though it’s not a very known language like some of the Germanic languages! There are also some Germanic languages that aren’t very known either, for example, Faroese / Icelandic / Norwegian / Danish / Swedish / Luxembourgish / West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian / Limburgish etc - there are a few videos teaching Swedish on Easy Languages, tho Swedish doesn’t have its own yt either, but at least there are many that teach Swedish / Norwegian / Danish on yt, so these three are not as unknown as Faroese and Icelandic and the three Frisian languages! I also managed to find a lot of vocab videos teaching Icelandic, tho - so I could easily learn over 1.500 words in Icelandic from those videos alone, and still learning the rest of the words from those videos, and I am also using lyrics to learn these languages that aren’t as known as the other ones, because there are many songs with lyrics in Icelandic & Old Norse & Faroese, so I can still learn them using this method and using Wiki to learn the verb conjugations and stuff like that, so I’m ‘working’ with the resources that I can find in each language basically! But hopefully these pretty languages will all become more known and more videos teaching them will be made in the near future, as it’s definitely easier and faster to learn languages when there are many videos teaching them and many vocab videos etc - until then, one can still learn as many words as one can find from lyrics and videos teaching something about them and subs etc, as there’s always a way to learn even very unknown languages with very limited resources!

I’m also thinking that a great idea to make a less known language become more known is, by grouping one less known languages with one very popular language or with multiple very popular languages, for example, making videos teaching / comparing words / talking about etc Welsh & Spanish or Welsh & Spanish & German (plus extra English subs) as well as making many ‘guess the spoken language’ and ‘guess the written language’ videos (which are also very fun and very popular types of videos) as there are so many ppl speaking Spanish and German and English and Portuguese and French etc, and usually having Spanish etc words in the title or Spanish titles gets many ppl to easily find the videos, and making this type of videos would be great for all the languages, as speakers of Spanish / German / English etc would be éxpòsed to Welsh / Breton / Irish / Norwegian / Icelandic etc and the speakers of Welsh or other less known languages would also be éxpòsed to the more popular languages that they may not know / know too well yet, so hopefully this will also become a trend in the near future, and hopefully volunteers that are native speakers of Spanish and German and English etc that also know Welsh and other unknown languages would be willing to make videos teaching them that are specifically created to reach a large audience, such as an audience of millions of speakers of Spanish or German or English or French etc, so that a lot of ppl could find them and learn them - I feel like a lot more ppl would start learning these gorgeous languages that are very unknown if they actually knew about them, technically, most ppl haven’t even heard of languages such as Welsh and Breton etc or even the less known Germanic languages like Faroese and Icelandic etc, as these languages are almost never included in videos about languages, in fact, I don’t even think most ppl that make videos about languages know about them, as they are pretty unknown and have very few native speakers, and usually ppl that are into languages cover mostly the language with the most native speakers and the languages that have at least a few million speakers, so they definitely need to get more éxpòsure and to get included more in videos about language learning and recommend languages etc, and even I didn’t know about Celtic languages and Faroese and other Nordic languages until I started learning languages on my own (last year) and started searching for videos about more unknown languages like unknown European / Germanic languages etc!

Why would you want to learn welish ? Welish is like Norwegian in the sence no other country speaks the language

@@michaelhawkins7389 I'm Somali-American. As far away as you can imagine, no ethnic or geographic ties, yet I also want to learn the language. It sounds soft(which is also why I'd like to learn Greek), I think the history of the people is fascinating, I'd love to visit, and I think the language sounds nice. A language doesn't have to be useful for someone to want to learn it, they just have to have the motivation.

@@michaelhawkins7389 around 5000 people speak welsh in welsh Patagonia in Argentina. With a lot more second language welsh speakers....

@@nick-her9275 could you explain the History of how it came to be?

@@michaelhawkins7389 in the 1860s around 150 welsh speaking men’s and women sailed to Patagonia to create a settlement away from the control of the uk and it has grown ever since and now around 50,000 people claim to have welsh heratige and 5000 of them can speak welsh.

I thought Welsh people native language was English not welsh.

@@jospehhishon3341 ye pretty much all of us speak english as first language, except maybe a few in north wales, we have to take welsh lessons compulsory though until the age of like 16. theres a lot of 'wenglish' in our language though its just like a blend of welsh and english language tho which anyone outside of wales wont understand

@@nanomachinesson5951 seems like a joke tbh. I had an Irish person say that they speak irenglish and when I went there they used like 99% English words 1% Irish words. You guys really should preserve your own language better.

@@jospehhishon3341 it was illegal to speak welsh in places of education until the 1930s, england was basically trying to purge ireland and wales of its culture for many centuries, hence the animosity a lot of us still have towards them

That's true, mostly because there are few native welsh speakers in Wales and most of them are in the North.

True, and although I'm just a learner, I can see at least one grammar mistake in almost every sentence. I wonder if it's a good video for learners, they might learn wrong things or wonder why there are differences between the rules they've learnt and what people say here...

That Jayden also uses some English words

@@gerald4013 what grammar mistakes did you see?

mae siarad cymraeg yn ddigon da. does dim ots os ydych chi'n dysgu Cymraeg neu'n siaradwr brodorol. siarad cymraeg sy'n bwysig ia, oce

Considering that it became extinct in the 12th century and no written record of the language exists, good luck with that.

@Alf_ 08 wait you know that man? LMFAO hahahahaha

Some of them are adult learners. Perhaps that's what it is.

You can catch “Y Golau” on S4C - the two acting opposite each other in Welsh. (No love scenes though I’m afraid 😉)

Not Dutch or German - English derives from those languages - and Hebrew ? Definitely not - nor does it contain any Native American.Welsh is a Celtic language.

It does sound like Dutch + Old Norse + English + Latin + something else - Welsh has many words with very similar word endings and letter combinations that also exist in Germanic and Latin languages and that are a staple in Germanic languages, and it has an intonation and patterns that are very similar to those of Dutch and Old Norse, and a lot of sounds that are also found in Dutch / Old Norse / English and the other Germanic languages, including the TH sounds (DD = the eth sound / TH = the thorn sound) and the CH sound which is also used in Dutch (there are both soft versions and hard versions of this sound in both Dutch and Welsh, and I use the softest versions) and the nice V sounds which are used a lot in both Welsh and Dutch etc, but it doesn’t sound like Hebrew / Indian etc at all, Welsh is a very refined language like Germanic languages, so it has very modern and refined sounds / patterns and very poetic words, and it gives off very strong Dutch / Old Norse vibes, even though the words themselves are quite different overall, especially at first sight!

Celtic languages are very close to Germanic languages and Latin languages in many ways, even though most words have been modified too much to recognize many cognates, but the dudes that modified them kept to the similar types of letter combinations / word endings / patterns and sounds, so they still sound / look very Germanic and Latin without actually looking Germanic / Latin, if that makes any sense! Technically, the first Celtic languages came from Greek, so Celtiberian was more Greek and not really Celtic - however, after being mixed with Latin, the new languages that resulted were very modern and had that typical Germanic / Latin vibe! Germanic languages themselves came from Latin, so Germanic languages and Latin languages aren’t that different, they have very similar structures and word endings, and it’s mostly the quantity of the words that use certain word endings and certain letter combinations more that makes them look different, because most words used in Germanic and Latin languages were modified from the same root words, with many of them coming from Proto European, so it’s technically very easy to make a German word out of a Latin word and to make a Latin word out of a Germanic word by only applying some subtle modifications, because structurally they are very similar, they usually have the same number of consonants and vowels, which are usually grouped in similar ways, with similar types of consonants and vowels and similar letter combinations for the most part, so the patterns are quite similar overall - and they are also similar in Celtic languages, however, Celtic languages tend to use more different letter combinations, and Welsh also uses the letters Y and W more instead of I and U, and the DD which is considered one letter and makes the TH sound in the English words that / the / this etc, which makes the aspect look very different at first sight! For example, if one writes yn and gwneud with I and without the W they will look like in and gneud which look just like they could be Dutch and English words, even similar to the English word gnu, plus in is used in both Dutch and English etc, and words like mynwent / fynwent and would look like min / fin + went if spelled with an I, so they would look like English / Dutch compound words, so the letter combinations and the word endings and patterns in general aren’t that different from those of Germanic languages, even if they may seem very different at first! The word mynd also exists in Icelandic, and the word afon looks and sounds a lot like the Dutch word avond, and many of the verbs that end in O are actually similar to the Spanish verb, so there are quite a lot of similarities between Celtic languages and Germanic languages and Latin languages, and also a lot more cognates than one may notice at first! I was really amazed to see how many cognates there are, and many of them aren’t easy to recognize at first, so it takes more analyzing and comparing the words due to the fact that Celtic languages have been modified a lot, unlike many other European languages that were only subtly modified!
