Welshness

Losing a language and gaining another, although it shouldn't apply as bi-lingualism is accepted everywhere today, means that although we may say that no-one is less Welsh in not having the benefits of an ancient culture, English is new to Wales, it means that although we may understand the poetry of Dylan Thomas, we are incapable of understanding the words of Dafydd ap Gwilym, arguably the greatest poet that Wales has ever given to the world! Welsh, whether one likes it or not is fundamental to the national psyche, for or against the nation turns around it, and without it we wouldn't be any different to Lancashire and Yorkshire which many of you would have us believe.
