      That’s mostly it, though it is true that I can’t understand or read Welsh and like to give my friend shit about it in a fun way. Besides, I’m from the US, we’re a complete farce at this point and I get it back many times over.

      Tbh it’s deeper than that, it’s colonial Roman bullshit. Welsh (and Gaelic) persisted through the spread of both Italic and Germanic languages which enveloped the rest of Western Europe, so it looks and sounds alien to virtually everyone else nearby. Bit of a badge of honor imo
