I love this series and the channel in general! Such fascinating and beautiful languages. I'm a South African with Welsh heritage and have recently started learning Welsh

Thank you / Diolch yn fawr. More content out later today (I hope) and another video out tomorrow evening.

I like the Welsh word 'tlysau' for 'jewels'. It would be interesting to see what it is in the other languages.

Scots Gaelic - seudan

It's a lovely word. It's kind of an adjective that became a noun. 'Tlws' = pretty. So 'Tlysau' = Pretties, things that are pretty :) Or it could have happened the other way around, the noun became an adjective!

Hey Ben, great video; I really enjoyed it. Another word for potato in Irish "fata" (singular) or "fataí" (plural). Also, a carrot can also be called a "meacan dearg".

Hey, cheers, thank you. Fata sounds quite Latin.

Slightly off the subject. Here in Australia there will be a book launched in the Irish language called "Gaeilge Ghriadoite" (Sunburnt Gaelic). It has all the popular Australian popular foods, native animals and local slang translated into Gaeilge. Examples are uch as "billy tea" (tae canna) , "kangaroo" (canguru) and "bloke"(diulach) etc. I'll try and get a copy, it should be an interesting read!

That does sound interesting.

A simple but really interesting video. I'm surprised how much Welsh I know, I knew almost all the foods (I've corrected/questioned people speaking Welsh saying "carrots" because they didn't know the word "moron". It wasn't always taken well because I'm English... Please do more like this

GPC has crempog coming from English 'crumpet'. I'm not sure on that one. In south Wales pancake is 'pancos' anyway!

It is debatable both ways We don't exactly know.

It is particularly interesting to see the similarities between the three Celtic lanuages in the North and the three in the South of Britain and also to note that Manx is often the odd one out, provoking the question why and what other influences would have been present?

Far heavier Viking influence in Manx.
