I was on a bit of a wiki binge, thinking about Welsh culture and history. I was thinking about how British culture as a whole has been exported and the whole western world speaks English.

It got me thinking. One day, Wales itself may stop speaking it's ancient Celtic language. Maybe it will cease to be Wales as we know it, in fact it certainly will one day. However, Welsh abroad could work and it turns out they already tried it way back in 1865. Maybe it's time a few of us moved to Argentina?

  1. Oes. It’s really interesting history. There’s a really strong Welsh community.

  2. A girl moved to my school from there when she was like 14.

    She could speak Welsh and Spanish only, no English.

  3. Yes, the BBC and S4C have done many documentaries about it – quite a few are on iPlayer, S4C Clic and of course YouTube. The Welsh traditions and even in part the language are kept quite alive in the Chubut Valley.
