Welsh or Cymraeg is spoken by approximately 750,000 people, not all of them in Wales. Although it is a minority language, the European Union recognises it, and it can help to reinforce and pursue relationships when used in business. We will be happy to help you with translation services concerning Welsh.
The history of WelshWelsh belongs to the Celtic language family, which is part of the Indo-European group of languages that also includes the Germanic and Romance languages. The Celtic languages are often divided into two groups: P-Celtic and Q-Celtic. Welsh, along with Breton and Cornish, belong in the P-Celtic group. The oldest texts in Welsh date back to the sixth century, but there is little left of this form, known as Old Welsh. Welsh literature, which includes the Mabinogion, was written in Middle Welsh and dates back to the twelfth century. Latter-day Welsh, also known as Late Modern Welsh, has been maintained since 1568, when the Bible was translated into Welsh. An adapted Latin alphabet is used for writing Welsh. |

There has been a strong increase in the use of Welsh in recent years. Welsh is spoken by a large percentage of the inhabitants of the countryside, and its survival is partly due to the fact that children are taught in Welsh at school. The language has also had a co-official status in the EU since 2008 so people have the right to address public bodies in the language. There are also Welsh-speaking communities in Argentina, Scotland, England, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
