The Welsh seem to assimilate easily, though some also keep a strong, warm sense of their heritage (even when, say, their Argentine 'masters' are forbidding Welsh names - to take another New-World example). So, where I come from, Stateside, there were three Welsh-language newspapers, mid-19th c., and all died out - whereas there are various 'denominations' that still have German-language services! Yet, an immigrant Welshman and I (whose immigrant ancestors were at least 5 generations ago) managed together to get a new local Welsh Society started (after the historical one had ceased some years before). <br /><br />"I am unsure of what is happening in Wales at present" - so am I, and find it vexing. So much of interest in and promotion of Welsh and Scottish heritage in Wales and Scotland in the course of the last century seems to have been entangled, incoherently, with totalitarian-'progressive'-mindedness. But how corrosive has that been? Is there a lot of clear-eyed love of Welsh and Scottish heritage, prudentially keeping its head down, while waiting and hoping and cherishing the flame, as well?<br /><br />David Llewellyn Dodds <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-31718885965328683412016-08-23T06:09:10.055-07:002016-08-23T06:09:10.055-07:00@SJ - Politically, there is less difference than b...@SJ - Politically, there is less difference than between some US states; and there has been a great deal of population mixing especially in South Wales (the most populous part) - it should not be overstated; but there is a difference.
