Something from Wales, or the language of Wales - a small country of about 1m people, divided into counties. A greatly successful tribe formed from people who originated from the mediterranean long before English and England was ever thought of. The Welsh language was spoken widely across southern Britain. A few thousand years later the English took over what they called Wales and treated the Welsh rather badly. One great event was the Welsh Knot where children who spoke Welsh were made to wear a sign around their neck "Welsh Knot". Also laws were written in English only meaning that the Welsh could not understand them. Due to this anti-Welsh attitute by the English the Welsh language was almost lost. A bible was written some years later in Welsh which is the basis of the modern Welsh language (Cymraeg). Even in more modern times the Welsh are treated by the English as underdogs. England did not win the war! (WWII) Some Welsh people dislike the English for very good reason. A lot of English people hate the Welsh - for no reason whatsoever. Some English hate the Welsh because of their Welsh accents. They will never see that the worst accents in Europe come from the south-east of England.

OK, I am Welsh. Does this mean I hate the English? NO. You know, just because I AM Welsh, doesn't mean I won't say this: There were many good people who happened to be English, and there were some bad. Does that reflect on them being English? No. Yes, there were some good people who were Welsh, too. Not because they're Welsh! English people, Welsh people, or anyone, can share something in common with anyone for being nice. Their Ethnicity SHOULD NOT MATTER. I know it seems strange for a lot of people these days, but guess what, Ethnicity is just an accident of birth. Nothing else. Anything else, you can change. Why does it matter about your Ethnicity!? Because, guess what else, YOU CANNOT change your Ethnicity. Why do you need to, though? I just think that some Welsh are good, and some are not. Not because they're Welsh, OK? Yes, I've had many friends who are English, and to be honest, even though I am Welsh myself, I've known more people from England than Wales. But even if I didn't, that doesn't mean I can say that I know whoever is better! Sorry if this wasn't such a definition, just wanted to make myself clear.
Welsh, people from Wales, that's it.
trans. v. (while in Wales) to come up to people and address them in Welsh, whether you know that they speak Welsh or not. Cf. come-raeg

Once-dead language, slowly being revived by the magic of political correctness in the UK. Sounds like an aggressive swan reciting the poetry of the Angels. One of the languages the Elves spoke in "Lord of the Rings" was based on Welsh. Like the Elves (to borrow an inappropriate analogy), the Welsh language has been separated over the years, into the "Welsh" North Welsh and the "English" South Welsh.
