Definitely interesting. It is curious how many consonants one sees in Welsh language and how strange looking these words are, with no idea how they are pronounced. The sound of the language is also very unusual-actually, I heard it first time in my life when Rys was speaking about somehting in Welsh in a KZbin video. Great! A new experience! My first impression was strong h, sounds a lot like hrrr and I remember listening to modern Hebrew, which has strong h sound. Otherwise, it is perfectly different, but that was the first thing I noticed. Anyway, these are good songs, I may take a look at them and see if I can get them from somewhere and listen to them. Music is universal even if one does not understand the language. I mean, how many people understand my language? And yet people can enjoy the songs withotu understanding the lyrics. By the way, I am Hungarian.

@@cabintroll259 Why it's your mothertongue?! I have never thought about my extremely difficult Hungarian language to be a pain to learn it. It is amazing.

I am happy that you used a Hungarian word and you mentioned Walesi bárdok a most famous poem inout Hungarian literature by one of our most famous poets. it has a whole exciting story beihind it. It was one of my absolute favourites I still can recite a few verses from it.

@@gethinllynabalwyn8569 Szia! I think everybody should learn Welsh as the main subject in all Welsh schools, what a terrible thing that in many places it is onyl a subject! I cannot imagine in hUngary to have say, German as the main language and we could only learn Hungarian as a second language when we are HUngarians! What an outrage!
