Not really, everybody in Argentina knows, just the same as the United states, almost all the population here are descendants of Europeans, and people like to keep their roots so many people have family over seas mainly in Italy but still we have German communities Spanish communities and so on. The thing with the Welsh people (kind of the same happened with the danish) is that they were so far away in the Patagonia for so long that they never had to actually learn Spanish in the past (because at the end of the 19 century the school system started and Spanish was the language in school and only adults were left speaking they original European languages), so yes, they are argentines and of course they know how to speak Spanish, but it's true they speak Welsh.

I visited Puerto Madryn and Trelew. It was quite an interesting dynamic compared to other parts of Argentina I visited. I would say it’s a place known for being a place with a lot of Welsh descendants, but many of the people there told me that there isn’t a huge welsh-speaking population. Like most other immigrant populations in Argentina, they all learned Spanish over time and almost everyone there who speaks welsh also speaks Spanish.

Maybe the name of some place, a historical and cultural site or the not strange Welsh pastry and cousine. Specially in Gaiman, which is a little town compared to Puerto Madryn or Trelew, you could go to a traditional Welsh tea house, there are lots of them. There is even one, which is precious and lovely, personally my favorite, where Princess Dianna went to.

In Argentina and Brazil there was also german colonization.

Cyrmugonia (Combination of the Welsh name of Wales and the Argentine region of Patagonia)

In Patagonia, Argentina, there exists also an Afrikaner/Boer enclave or community. They fled South Africa during the 2nd Anglo-Boer war (1899-1902) in which the English burnt down farmland and rounded up women and children and put them in concentration camps. The Afrikaner/Boers have had a bit of a goodluck-badluck moment, because they found diamonds and gold in their independent republics, which set off the wars between them and the British. When these Boers fled to Argentina, the government gave them a large portion of arid, dry land to farm on, BUT THEN THEY STRUCK OIL and the government took the land back to get rich from this natural resource. The families still live there and there is a documentary about them called 'The Boers at the end of the world'.

It's not a separate colony, colony in this case means settlement, but I mean there are settlements of non-spanish or Portuguese origin in many places in South America, where people would come from overseas buy a farm and start a small village.

I'd just advise a little caution. People in Latin America really like to pretend they are like foreigners, particularly Europeans or Americans, and so similarities or connections to those places are often hugely exaggerated. In Brazil for example it's almost a meme how people invariably will talk about how "there are many Germans in the south of Brazil", or "Brazil is a country of immigrants", whenever there is a mention of the country online - and unironically, particularly if the mention associates Brazil too much with Latin America, Africa, or its own local culture. It is as if in their minds immigration from 100 years ago would rub on them and make them Europeans or as if they could make Brazil the US simply by repeating those mantras, "we are like the US, we are an immigration society", while if you actually go to the south of Brazil you'll realize it is nothing like German, people don't speak German basically at all, and in the places where there is "German architecture" oftentimes it's literally just the façade to attract tourists. Numbers of immigrants and descendants in Brazil, as well as their influence, are also greatly exaggerated by these people. So it's good to make a lot of research before believing their tales.

But in Buenos Aires and around everyone belongs to a collectivity (meaning group of people) I have ties to germans and Italians (where I got citizenship) and in my case all my great grandparents came from abroad, still that doesn't make me European I'm American (although I have the citizenship I dont feel Italian and I would never define myself as so). It is though, undeniable that Latin American countries vary widely in respect to this, you dont have the same amount of immigration in Argentina and Ecuador for example and that is noticeable in the goverment the people names and their last names, but we are all Americans none of us are better that the other.

All the flags of the British colonial governors had the colony's badge in the centre with Union flag in background. Queensland, Australia still uses that type of flag proposed for Westralia.

Was the Dakotas reference to Hutterites? Hutterites are one of several German religious movements that settled in the US and maintained a separation from mainstream society. I think there are more Amish than Hutterites. The Amish actually own something like 2% of all arable land in the United States, with major concentrations in Pennsylvania around Lancaster, in Ohio near Canton, and in Indiana near Elkhart. They speak archaic German dialects that are no longer found in Germany, although their language is highly influenced by English and all the words for items invented in the last two hundred years or so tend to be English.
