Welsh is the oldest living European language and of the languages spoken in Britain today, Welsh has by far the oldest roots; these roots go back almost 2500 years. This guide traces the development of the Welsh language and the people who speak it, from its origins to the present day. The author looks at the earliest days of heroic verse through to the use of the language on television.
