Welsh nationalism?

Talking to a Welsh nationalist for a film project, and he's been telling me a lot of stuff that sounds like revisionism. We were never really taught English history in American schools.

Is this true?

>What is now the UK used to be populated by native Britons, mostly pagan and rural
>Anglo-Saxons come in, conquer most of the land
>What is Wales now was the last stronghold for the native Britons
>Legends of King Arthur portray a Briton/Welshman fighting the Anglo Saxons, which is thy Welsh love their red dragon symbolism
>Welsh language is actually the remnants of the language spoken before conquest

I know it sounds like bullshit but it would be so cool if true.

Only the King Arthur claims are debatable but most of this is true. Welsh are the cultural descendants of Britons along side the people in Brezh.

That's what happened, not really contested. Just basic Welsh history

Bong here, that's a fact mate and the name of Wales comes from the Anglo-Saxon for outsider/foreigner.

Other cultural hold outs include Cornwall, in England, which is still considered a little backwards today.

Cornwall still largely spoke a local dialect up until the 18th century

All of that is largely true, but Welsh isn't the only remnant, all the Celtic languages in Britain are.

I've been to Cornwall and Wales, and they both seem like different countries. I never realized how divided the UK was until I spent time here.

Aren't there like 6 "nations" left where the remnants are?

Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, and Cornish come to mind.

Irish Gaelic and Breton are also spoken, but those aren't in Britain.

You're right about other Celtic languages existing but Welsh is the last living Brythonic language I'm pretty sure

Breton and Cornish are also Brittonic. Irish, Scottish, and Manx are Insular

>Breton
>Cornish
Do people still speak this shit?
