The ‎Welsh ‎people‏ ‎are ‎a‏ ‎group‏ ‎of ‎Celtic ‎origin‏ ‎who ‎live‏ ‎in ‎Wales, ‎which ‎is‏ ‎a‏ ‎country ‎located‏ ‎in ‎the‏ ‎United ‎Kingdom. ‎They ‎have ‎a‏ ‎rich‏ ‎and ‎unique‏ ‎culture, ‎including‏ ‎a ‎distinctive ‎language ‎called ‎Welsh,‏ ‎which‏ ‎is‏ ‎still ‎spoken‏ ‎by ‎some‏ ‎of ‎its‏ ‎people.‏ ‎In ‎the‏ ‎UK, ‎there ‎are ‎about ‎2‏ ‎million ‎people.‏ ‎Welsh‏ ‎people ‎are ‎well‏ ‎known ‎for‏ ‎their ‎exquisite ‎music, ‎poetry,‏ ‎and‏ ‎artwork, ‎all‏ ‎of ‎which‏ ‎are ‎frequently ‎influenced ‎by ‎their‏ ‎natural‏ ‎surroundings. ‎The‏ ‎Eisteddfod ‎festival‏ ‎and ‎other ‎national ‎identity-celebrating ‎events‏ ‎play‏ ‎a‏ ‎significant ‎role‏ ‎in ‎their‏ ‎cultural ‎calendar,‏ ‎continuing‏ ‎a ‎long-standing‏ ‎tradition ‎in ‎this ‎country. ‎Welsh‏ ‎national ‎causes‏ ‎have‏ ‎historically ‎been ‎led‏ ‎by ‎notable‏ ‎individuals ‎like ‎Owain ‎Glyndwr‏ ‎and‏ ‎David ‎Lloyd‏ ‎George, ‎and‏ ‎they ‎have ‎contributed ‎significantly ‎to‏ ‎the‏ ‎political ‎and‏ ‎social ‎development‏ ‎of ‎Britain. ‎Wales ‎is ‎a‏ ‎modern,‏ ‎multicultural‏ ‎nation ‎today,‏ ‎but ‎its‏ ‎citizens ‎still‏ ‎cherish‏ ‎and ‎appreciate‏ ‎their ‎own ‎history ‎and ‎customs.‏ ‎If ‎you‏ ‎travel‏ ‎to ‎Wales, ‎you‏ ‎will ‎be‏ ‎greeted ‎by ‎warm ‎and‏ ‎welcoming‏ ‎people ‎who‏ ‎are ‎proud‏ ‎of ‎their ‎heritage ‎and ‎culture.
