Welsh English

Welsh English differs less from Standard English than Scots or Irish. Until this century the Celtic Welsh language was dominant through most of the principality. Words from Celtic that have survived in Welsh English include bach (little one; man, as in Ress bach), del (pretty one), and tollut (a hayloft).
Welsh English has also given fewer words than the Scots or Irish varieties to the standard vocabulary.
Of words not especially associated with Welsh culture (eisteddfod, for example), only flannel and the pudding flummery are at all common. Both of these words can also mean ‘insincere flattery, waffle’. If you also consider the verb to welsh (meaning, ‘to avoid paying a debt’), you can see that the Welsh have suffered from decided linguistic discrimination at the hands of the English.
