Welsh...
"Welsh is spoken by about 656,000 people in Wales,
and, despite
political unity with England since the
early 16th century, the
language is still known by nearly half the total population of
Wales. A distinctive Welsh culture has been maintained, and
both the culture and the language are encouraged officially.
Many schools have been established which use Welsh exclusively
as the tutorial language. Welsh literature, which still thrives,
began with the epics of the Welsh bards of the 5th century, but
the earliest extant manuscripts date from the 11th century.
Welsh, or Cymraeg, is a Celtic tongue, linked with Breton and
the extinct Cornish language, in the
Brythonic subgroup. It is
spoken in northern and southern dialects.
The story of Mary Jones and her Bible is a tale of delight for the
young and of meaning for all. Now translated into several
languages, it is a parable of the recurring longing of Christians to
possess the Bible. Mary Jones was
a young Welsh girl of the late
18th century, and the story tells of the hardships she faced to
earn and procure her own copy of the Scriptures - difficulties
which were at the same time common to the American frontier-
man and were, and still are, encountered by Christians in many
parts of the world. It was to meet this undeniable need that the
Bible Societies were founded and are now being established
around the globe - that each might have the Scriptures in his
own language and at a price he can afford." --1000 Tongues, 1972
