The Welsh Language by Janet Davies

The Welsh Language by Janet Davies

Welsh is the oldest living European language and of the languages spoken in Britain today, Welsh has by far the oldest roots; these roots go back almost 2500 years. This guide traces the development of the Welsh language and the people who speak it, from its origins to the present day. The author looks at the earliest days of heroic verse through to the use of the language on television.

'I can think of no better introduction than this well-written, well-presented book which manages to be succinct and comprehensive, balanced and yet committed to seeing Welsh not only surviving but flourishing once again'- Western Mail 'The most up-to-date history and assessment of Europe's oldest living language is packed full of readable information.' - The Rough Guide to Wales
