Very interesting. Point of correction: Welsh is not a dialect of English! It's a completely different language.

- ubernostrum 12y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_English http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_English "Welsh English, Anglo-Welsh, or Wenglish (see below) refers to the dialects of English spoken in Wales by Welsh people. The dialects are significantly influenced by Welsh grammar and often include words derived from Welsh. In addition to the distinctive words and grammar, there is a variety of accents found across Wales from the Cardiff dialect to that of the South Wales Valleys and to West Wales."
- alexchamberlain 12y agoRight, but that is not Welsh... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_language
- vacri 12y ago'Welsh' refers to the variety/locality of English - just like all the people reporting the test as giving them 'Swedish' or 'Portuguese'.
- ubernostrum 12y agoNobody claimed it was. Talking about "Welsh English" refers to a Welsh-language-influenced dialect of English spoken primarily in Wales by people who also speak or live among/are influenced by speakers of the Welsh language.
- xioxox 12y agoInterestingly, it picked up Welsh English for me, even though I only lived there for about 10 years when I was little. I only know a few Welsh words. I then moved across the border into England.
