"A drink of bleach" He just totally just accepted that as a translation 🤣

I love how you were actually trying to pronounce the Irish names like he was saying them!! I couldn’t stop laughing when you didn’t even click “Siobhan!”

Welsh is my first and everyday language, from home to education and the workplace, I live in an area of Wales, the Llŷn Peninsula. where 85% of people speak Welsh as their first language. I was 8 to 9 when I started to use English or hear it spoken in my community. Today the number of Welsh speakers within Wales is around 900K or 29.4% of the population this is an increase of 9.6% in 10 years, whereas 100 years ago, it was 80% and Welsh only at 40%

In the north west of England, you find a lot of older Welsh ladies travelling by bus, openly criticising your make-up, length of skirt and future in the adult entertainment industry. Thanks to the Welsh language being a compulsory school course in Wales, you can thank them in Welsh for their helpful suggestions as you get off the bus, leaving them speechless.

as a Welshman, this is very interesting to see your reaction and a good concept for videos seeing as a lot of Americans like to know about their roots. nice to see you researching this and giving your insight

I am from Aberdeenshire and I speak Doric. Doric is a trader language with elements of shared words with Scandinavian languages, Dutch and German. The interesting thing is that there are key words that differ from other Scots language areas. An example of this is the word for children, we say bairns ( Norwegian Barne) Lowland Scot’s say weans. The example of “Lads and Lasses” is also rubbish, we have “Loons an Quines”. So quite a lot of generalisation going on 😊

I'm English, but listening to the Welsh rugby team sing their anthem. Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, which means Land of our Fathers. This makes the hairs stand up on your neck.

Wales has all it’s signs in Welsh as well as English.

Now start looking at regional dialects in the UK - see how many you can understand :)

Cornish is also spoken by some people in the neighbouring county Devon. Devon is EXTREMELY Celtic just as much as Cornwall but the only reason why the language only survived in Cornwall is because of “conquering” and invasion etc…Cornwall and Devon used to be a Celtic kingdom together - Dumnonia. Devon constantly gets overlooked when the only thing we don’t have in terms of celticness is our language anymore

I love how some of the hidden reference jokes go over your head in a kind of naive sort of way. The "Not Orkney" one the author actually reads the real name out eventually. (Shetland)

In the world of music, Gaelic (Scottish and Irish) is quite popular, and not just imitation folk music. Rock bands such as Runrig could really pack venues both in Britain and Europe (Especially Denmark and Germany). Regrettably now disbanded, we were able to see them live on several occasions.

Fascinating vid! My mum was Welsh, my dad was Cornish. Neither spoke their native tongue...such a shame.

The guy said he is going to say some easy Welsh words then said them all wrong. 🤣

Steve you've easily become one my favourite channels recently, always a treat when ya upload. 😁 And now we've hit 5k subscribers - Well done!

Use to serve in the British Army Royal Signals, after many years experience I sometimes I had to step in and do translating duties to turn Glaswegian and other accents into English/English so we could establish comms.

For such a small group of islands we have a very complex and fascinating history!

A great video. Not only is Hilbert an extremely knowledgeable young gentleman, he also has some of the most impressive eyebrows on the youtubes!

Cornwall is now a county of the UK. The Prince of Wales is also the Duke of Cornwall and derives his income from it. In legend the Duke of Cornwall was the husband of King Arthur's mother, the Duchess, whose adultery with Uther Pendragon was facilitated by Merlin, the Magician and resulted in Arthur.

There are many dialects and accents throughout Britain, such as Yorkshire , Scouse, Brummie, Geordie, Cocney, and many more. The accents can change in as little as 5 or 6 miles.
