NO we’re not Gaelic and NO we do not all worship a moon goddess called Arianrhod (fuck you, Robert Graves) and NO we are not a principality within England and NO our language isn’t made up of only consonants because it actually has more vowels in it than fucking English oh my God can that stereotype die in a sewer already

But you know what we do have?? A goddamn horse skull on a stick which you have to rap battle at Christmas!! A language with phonemes that you only find in like 5 languages on Earth!! The earliest extant references to King Arthur and Merlin, whose original name was Myrddin but was Latinised as ‘Merlinus’ rather than ‘Merdinus’ because apparently ‘Merdinus’ would look too much like the French word for ‘shit’!! COOL HISTORY THAT INSPIRES HOLLYWOOD FILMS!! THIS GODDAMN SHIT

A MOUNTAIN CALLED THE SUGAR LOAF WHICH LOOKS LIKE A NIPPLE

Like, it seems like half the misinformation going around about Welsh is patronising, romanticising bullshit, like uwu hiraeth means homesickness and definitely doesn’t have any colonial context, and neopagan Celtic nonsense about moon goddesses and mother Earth and fucking dancing naked in stone circles at dusk, and the other half is just laughing at a language which was almost decimated after centuries of colonialism, even though the stereotypes about Welsh being a hilarious and stupid language are actually direct tools that the English used to eradicate it, so

Not to get like, Welsh nationalist on main or anything but maybe people could like… fact check before they post stuff about a living language/culture, because we even have WiFi in Wales, y’know, and every post we see about how hilarious Welsh place names are takes 10 years off our lives
