Glyndwr dreamed of a Wales ruled by its own laws, not by the English, which would not have to pay tribute to England nor be occupied by English troops.

Wales and Ireland were and still are, the most beautiful countries i have seen. The english kings behaved like dickheads through the medieval times after the Norman conquest.

@@elgranlugus7267 Yes Welsh and Irish and Scots we are all brothers and sisters one blood Celts. I am Irish and Welsh and I could not be more proud. Wake up Wales you was born free you are not saxon you are Welsh a Celt. When we ignore you at festivals time when you ask for something in English it's not hate we are dissapointed, our family turned their backs. It is not your fault they have beaten it out of you.

[@mementomori6710]

@@mohammedamin281 The 8th century pure blood Saxon has interbred with their Brythonic neighbors for over a thousand years. Creating the modern Englishman, who now only carries 30% Anglo/Saxon DNA on average, the rest being Brythonic blood. You'll find an Englishman of Somerset or Gloucestershire to be more genetically similar to a Welshman than the Welshman would be to a Scottish Highlander. The only reason the Britons of England aren't Celtic culturally too is because we were getting fucked by the Italian, German and French invasions whilst the Welsh and Scots had their cosy mountains to hide in! Had the Celts (Welsh excluded) backed their Southern cousins against the Norman invasion then they could have spared us all from centuries of slaughtering each other for the entertainment of foreign Kings. To summarize, we have a dark past that cuts both ways but we still have an unbreakable genetic bond that links the people of Britain together. There are dark times ahead for Britain I fear, the last thing I want is to be baited into more brother wars.

[@SimulationEvolve]

@@mohammedamin281 Not really, we were only called Celts by English Historians in the 18th century. The Romans and our ancestors never called us Celts, there are a few explanations as to our similar culture the main one being trade between us, Hibernia (Ireland) and Gaul (France).

Glendower stodd on the mountains of Meirionnydd The shadow of the dawn weighing heavily on his mind He heard the groans ascending from the valleys He knelt to listen, supported by his sword. He stood for a long while on the mountains of Meirionnydd His heart bleeding over the state of his country He dreamt of uniting his divided nation He brandished his sword in the heat of battle. He lay to die under the shade of rocks He sang as he slumbered, yet smiling in death He saw the dawn lighting up the mountains And his nation in that bright future again united.

He stood for a long time on the mountains of Meirionnydd And his heart bleeds for the state of his country. He dreamed of uniting his divided nation He waved his sword in the heat of battle.

This is such a pretty language- to you Native speakers out there- is the grammar similar to Spanish or French or any other romantic language, or is it Germanic, or in a league all its own?? The pronunciation is obviously very difficult for those with American-trained tongues, but for those hoping to be able to read or understand a bit (like me) I'm just curious what kind of grammar system is in place.

[@xxdrosexx]

It's Celtic - therefore a cousin to both the Romance and Germanic languages. Of course there are some fun similarities to the others - in particular the word "pont" meaning "bridge in both Welsh and French, and "Eglwys" being a lot like Iglesia/église

[@desiferber4329]

Thank you so much! I've been listening to the music every night to fall asleep but I've not learned too many of the words yet. I'm hoping to get better though! Again, thank you so much for taking the time to educate an ignorant yank. I do speak Spanish and French, although I suck at Germanic languages other than English (I barely scraped by in Dutch class, apparently trying to learn a Germanic language is harder at a certain age, and I was never given the opportunity to learn a second language until high school- stupid American school system). Anyway I've been talking your ear off so I'll go now but thanks so much for the help. Diolch!

@Tartan aww, thanks! Welsh is just so pretty, and the lullabies are a definite insomnia cure lol. Diolch, a nos da!

[@r8118830]

@@xxdrosexx I have always thought that those two words were based on the Roman presence in the Britain of the time. There are other words too. The Romano British chiefs were more influenced by the Roman language than the ordinary farming tribespeople. It is hard to say how much of what became Welsh was influenced by the Roman language.

I know this song in an irish version.. I don't speak Welsh in no way. Maybe one ofl you Welsh can send me the lyrics ??

[@HolandaChiquita]

I've been listening to Welsh songs for a while now, but it just sounds too LotR Elven-like to me. I like Irish and especially Scottish Gaelic much better. I guess because it sounds more like my own languages with those "G's"...

[@HolandaChiquita]

Why would you "Laugh Out Loud" after that comment? To *ME* it sounds too Elven-like. I don't like it, because it makes it seem too unreal for *me*... It's not an actual problem per sé, I just don't like it for that reason... You don't even have to understand that, except for that it is just an opinion I liked to express when I listened to this some two months ago...

[@HolandaChiquita]

That is a very weird reason to use "LOL". Even in Dutch it would be weird, as "lol" means having fun in Dutch... And it's not unusual to think a language sounds like another language. Especially not when one of the two is made up. Due to the *opinion* I have on them sounding similar (to me), I find that I don't like the real language. Purely because it reminds me of the made-up language. It's not unusual to like or dislike something because it reminds you of something else, is it? Also, I always defend my opinions. And to defend something you have to get "defensive"... I don't see how fighting should have anything to do with that. I'm just merely expressing my opinion, explaining it and therefore answering your questions. And asking why you use "LOL" is such a weird but over-used way... Just curious you see...

[@HolandaChiquita]

Erm, I never laughed out loud because I read something that was unusual and I didn't understand. Laughing out loud isn't chuckling, and I doubt you really had a lough about it (let alone several). But that's just my opinion and imagining of events. It's mis-use is overused, and it's relevant because I just wanted to know your view on it/your explanation for using it. Thanks for the reply. It's indeed separate to the other discussion we were having. But still interesting enough to me to inquire on it. You indeed asked "why" and I answered with an explanation. You didn't seem to understand that explanation and tried to explain something yourself that wasn't my point at all. So therefor I felt the need to explain some more, with the hope that I would be able to answer your first question in a way that you would understand. I don't see any implication of attack. I just try and convey my opinion and explanation, and you seem to be doing the same. And opinion comes with some defense because it's normal to defend what you think is true/right or feels that way. That doesn't mean a defense is always tied to an attack or aggression. Your implication of it being that is simply your opinion. I don't find defense like this aggressive, but maybe you do... The same way "lol" could also be implied as "laughing at someone aloud". I could have felt that you were laughing at me, which is the total opposite symbolization of a friendly question. I didn't feel that way, but was merely curious what you meant by it. Whilst I tried to explain it's not really the correct usage of the abbreviation. Sadly here you are wrong. I'm not a sir... By reading my username you could have guessed I'm of the opposite sex. I actually enjoyed our little conversation/discussion. It's like study material for me. You should definitely never stop asking questions. But maybe try to take answers and explanations a little less harsh. Some people just explain things a little different that you might be used to but mean nothing hostile by it. It's not always the writers fault for coming across a certain way, It might also have something to do with the reader...
