Text : About Wales
Language, rugby and the millenium stadium
Living in Wales
Wales is a land of rugby, singing and beautiful scenery situated on the western side
of the UK.
Its population is just under three million which is about 5% of the total UK
population.
The main cities are Cardiff, the capital city, Swansea and Newport.
Wales was ruled directly from London until 1999 when the first elections to the
Welsh National Assembly were held.
The Assembly has some powers specific to
people in Wales and can make decisions on areas such as education and health.
Wales remains part of the UK and Members of Parliament (MPs) from Welsh
constituencies continue to have seats in the UK Parliament at Westminster.
Laws
passed by Parliament in Westminster still apply to Wales.
Language
The Welsh language is probably the most important thing that distinguishes Wales
from the rest of the UK.
Welsh (or Cymraeg) is one of Europe’s oldest languages
and is spoken by one in five Welsh people.
This number doubles among children
and teenagers which shows that the language is very much alive among the young.
Road signs and other signs are in both English and Welsh.
The language is at its
strongest along the Llyn Peninsula in North - West Wales, where 75 per cent of the
population speak Welsh.
Towns, villages and cities in Wales often have both a
Welsh and an English name and Wales is home to one of the longest place names
in the world – Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch which
means St Mary's (Church) by the white aspen over the whirlpool, and St Tysilio's
(Church) by the red cave!
Sport and culture
Wales is also known for its ‘Eisteddfodau’ which are festivals celebrating Welsh
language, art, culture and heritage and which include an eclectic mix of music,
dance, drama, debate and cultural competitions.
Most people know of the annual
National Eisteddfod which is held alternately in North and South Wales and the
International Eisteddfod which is held in Llangollen, but there are Eisteddfodau of
varying sizes held in towns and villages throughout the land.
The national sport is very much rugby union and the national team are sometimes
known as the Dragons as a red dragon appears on the national flag of Wales.
The
home ground is the Millennium Stadium at Cardiff Arms Park in Cardiff.

Wales is a country of lakes and mountains.
It’s about a half of the size of Switzerland, and it has a population of two and three quarter of a million.
In the north of Wales there the most beautiful scenery on the British islands, the Snowdon Mountain.
The Snowdon is Britain’s second highest mountain.
Wales is not an independent nation.
In 1292, the English king, Edward I, invaded Wales and built fourteen huge castles to control the Welsh people.
His son, Edward, became the first Prince of Wales, since then all the kings and queens of England have given their eldest sons the title Prince of Wales.
Prince Charles became the twenty - first Prince of Wales.
Although the English have ruled Wales for many centuries, Wales still has its own flag, culture, and, above all, its own language.
In the towns and villages of North Wales, many people speak English only as a second language.
Their first language is Welsh.
In Llanberis, a small town at the foot of Snowdon, eighty - six per cent of people speak Welsh as their first language.
At the local primary school children have nearly all their lessons in Welsh.
The children should be bilingual by the time that they are eleven years old.
It is not a problem for children to learn two languages at the same time.
Children have insight into two cultures, so have all the folk tales of two languages.
Children like Welsh because in Welsh you spell things just how you say them, in English there are more silent letters.
Welsh is one of the oldest languages in Europe.
It’s a Celtic language, like Breton in France, Gaelic in Ireland or Scotland.
Two and a half thousand years ago these languages were spoken in many parts of Europe.
They died out when the Romans invaded these areas, but some of them survived in the north - western corner of Europe.
But over the last hundred years the number of Welsh - speakers has fallen very quickly.
Now only twenty per cent of Welsh people speak Welsh.
Here are some of the reasons for the decline.
In the nineteenth century people thought that Welsh was an uncivilized language.
If you wanted to be successful in life you had to learn English, the language of the British Empire.
So in many schools children were forbidden to speak Welsh.
At the beginning of the twentieth century many English and Irish people moved to South Wales to work in the coal mines and steel works.
They did not learn Welsh.
People, especially young, moved away from the Welsh - speaking villages and farms of north and west Wales to look for work in big towns and cities, so Welsh - speaking communities became much smaller.
In the 1960s and 1970s many English people bought holiday cottages in villages in Wales.
Most of them did not learn Welsh.
This also pushed up the price of houses so that local Welsh - speaking people cold not afford them.
Now English can come into every Welsh home trough the radio, television, newspapers, books, etc.
There are Welsh - language TV and radio stations, but far fewer than English ones.
And now there is cable and satellite TV, also in English, of course!
The decline has now stopped, because a lot has been done.
Road signs, bilingual documentation, and so on.
The future of Welsh is uncertain.
The problem is that Welsh has to survive next door to English, and, as we all know, English is a very successful language.
Wales is a part of the United Kingdom.

Wales has its own interesting culture including language, customs, holidays and music.

The flag of Wales, brought to Britain by Romans, is one of the oldest in the world.

These are usually worn on St.
David’s Day, which is celebrated on the 1stof March.
