How the Welsh founded America

[Tommy Tainant]

Welsh - Cornish , same thing i think but the Cornish were in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as miners . They were Iron ore miners in underound mines around Ispeming and Negaunee and before the open pit mines . They were famous and still are for their PASTY which was a meat pie of potatoes , carrots , onion , beef or meat and different variations depending on what was around and all wrapped in a flour pie crust of sorts . Story goes that they heated the PASTY on a shovel over a candle for lunch as they were underground waiting for lunch . And the pasty is still famous .

Welsh and Cornish are definitely NOT the same thing. Welsh is Wales, Cornish is Cornwall. Different regions. Both languages (along with Breton) are in the Brythonic or "P-Celtic" branch and to some extent mutually intelligible although Cornish has no speakers left.

There are 600 speakers apparently.
This is a great article.
