Its because most fantasy books use welsh as inspiration for creating fantasy languages toilken that wrote the lotr and the hobbit for example used welsh for his inspiration for the elvish language

Alongside with Irish for me! In fact, when I was young I thought Tinkerbell and her friends would likely speak a Celtic language originally 😅

So rude deutsch sprechen ist besser

Also the Welsh laugauge translates the Egyptian hieroglyphs.. pass it on ...mind blowing!!!

what about irish ?

Hello, my loyal subscriber friend! I remember you! Glad to see you again! 💖💖💖

@@ilovelanguages0124 Thank you! I’m glad to have been subscribed for so long. I still remember when you first started posting videos on your previous channel a few years back 💖💖💖

Tolkien is quoted as saying "Welsh is of the soil, this island, the senior language of the men of Britain; and Welsh is beautiful.

Really? I wondered if Welsh was incorporated in anyway.

What is your level at Welsh?

@@tabahnaikinem9669A1 high according to my own standards. All self study

Yn wyr! Siwr iawn.

Bring back the Welsh knot!

As Dafydd Iwan would say "Ry'n ni yma o hyd er gwaetha pawb a phopeth!"

And your surname - any name that originated in Britain with an S only on the end generally came from the British of Wales. Whereas those with Son on the end were Scandinavian in origin. So Robbins would be of Anlogiced Welsh origin and Robinson would be Germanic - English in Origin

You mean fun culture?

I like how you use the word

Takk så mye

Maybe there is a common Italo-Celtic lineage but also you need to consider the fact that Britain (present day England) was a province of Roman Empire and Latin was spoken alongside celtic Britonic, the ancestor of Welsh language.

O bydded yr hen iath barhau!

Also @ILoveLanguages , your pronunciation of “bore da, sut dych chi? Fi enw i…” was awsome. I’m from wales and speak a bit and I loved this video!

@@alfiepeel1432 🤣😂Didn't pick that up during the video but just went back to have a look and couldn't believe it. It's not anything like what it should be. I'm not in the office at the moment etc. A little different to "no entry for heavy vehicles etc". 🤣

Literally: "I'm not in the office at the moment. Send any work for translation. " 😂

King Arthur is welsh 😁

In reality British, when it was used to describe those now known as the Welsh as opposed the Britishness passed off by the English for their culture

Welsh has more vowels than English buddy!

The Romans governed Britain for a few centuries, so a few words of both Latin and Greek survive. 'Agorwch y ffenestr.' 'Open the window.' 'Agor' to open comes from the Greek 'Agora' and ffenestr is, of course,. fenestra, the Latin for window.

Thanks for confirming that it's the accent from North Wales. I've only been learning Welsh for few months and wasn't sure if I guessed it right.

What an odd question to ask about any of the planet's indigenous languages

as another commented said, an odd question to ask about any language; but ill try to answer. 1. welsh isnt 'useful' the same way english or mandarin is useful as an international language of business. a person might learn english in order to be able to speak with a lot of people from many different countries; but a person would learn welsh in order to speak to a more specific group of people, and to connect specifically to welsh culture. yes, everyone in wales also speaks english, but welsh isnt just spoken in the house. if you want to really connect with people you need to speak their language, or atleast try 2. academic reasons, welsh has a very long literary and poetic tradition, and you need to be atleast familiar with the language to study things like ancient british history or the king arthur myth. the language itself, infact, can tell us a lot about history. 3. being able to pronounce all the complicated place names ;-)

It's respectful. After England shut down and tried to kill the welsh language, it's the least you can do. It'll also get you A LOT of respect amongst Welsh people :)

Are you not aware that many consonants in other languages are used as vowels in British (Welsh)? It has two more than English has!

Y and W

It's not luck and it never has been, it's been extremely hard work to get to this stage and still we have to keep pushing. I've seen comments in this thread as to what is the point in speaking Welsh and you get that attitude with every language wherever you go. I am extremely proud to send my daughter to a Welsh speaking school and learn along side her. We've come so far since when I was a kid in school in the 90s when there was no Welsh school in my area but it's still a long road ahead.

@@wintherr3527 its in English also

boring if it wasnt

Only in writing, but Italian "chi" (who) is pronounced the same way (/kee/) as Welsh "ci" (dog). "A chi?", as it happens, means not only "And you?" (formal or plural, i.e. "E Lei?" or "E voi?"), but also "And a dog?" ("E un cane?", the aspirate mutation after "a": c->ch) .
