Apparently, there's an area of Southern America which speaks Welsh, due to the first colonists/explorers to reach it were Welsh.

Edit: WarrenLCooper, they speak it in Patagonia apparently.
Y Bach.
Wow, who knew so many of us can speak a few words in Welsh - Hexus Forums, bringing the UK closer together
lol yeh, I'm pleasantly suprised how many bilingual people we have. I want to learn fluent welsh myself, never really payed attention in school, it was allways the class (one of actually) we messed about in.
It saddans me though when my friends (who are welsh) say theres no point in learning it! count yourself lucky chicken and be proud!
I know the national anthem and about 3 key phrases.Diolch yn fawr!
(Thank you very much)
P.S Although I lived in Wales for many years, the above fragment of Welsh represents how little I know

Is there ANY integrity to the whole sheep thing anyway? Where on earth did it come from?
With love and many thanks,

Absolutley not. Not in wales anyway, I hear yorkshire farmers are notorious for it...
Here we just eat the sheep.
No smoke without fire, thats what I say.
As I understand it, the rumour stems from a time when Welsh men used to rustle sheep The punishment for stealing sheep was very harsh, so if they were about to get caught, they would drop their trousers and pretend to be getting friendly with the sheep as the punishment for getting friendly with a sheep was a lot less then for stealing them.
Well that's the theory anyway....
P.S Please don't ask me how I know this
How do you know this?
With love and many thanks,

Big Leon did his university thesis on the topic:
"KY vs Sheep: The Welsh Connection"
Saesneg wrth gwrs
My Nain ( Nan) was Welsh she used to make me chuckle when I was little, as she only ever swore in Welsh
