Hi, I'm a yank, and an ignorant one at that. In my travels abroad, I've met plenty of Irish, Scots, and more than enough Englishmen. My dad is descended from Welsh immigrants. I've only heard they're "sheep shaggers" but then the English say that about everyone. And I know Tom Jones was from Wales (I think). So tell me, is Wales a great place? What are some uniquely Welsh characteristics? Do people still speak the native language?

You are wright there K wilson my first language is Welsh but it isn't odd it's the language of our home our community and our country we know no different. And Welsh is not welsh gaelic it's Brythonic. Gaelic is another group Goidelic . Goidelic consists of Irish, Scots Gaelic and Manz whereas Brythonic consists of Welsh, Breton and Cornish .

Diolch yn fawr a Cymraeg yw fy iaith gyntaf i! A mae well gen i siarad Cymraeg achos Cymraeg yw iaith fy nghalon
