Welsh colonization of Southern Argentina (Colonización galesa del sur Argentino)

[ShiningNow]

¡Fantástico! Los galeses son un pueblo noble y hermoso, al igual que todas las naciones célticas.

wow, que interesante :) soy de Gales, y puedo hablar el idioma galés, y estoy aprendiendo español, me gusta la cultura argentina, y me gustaría ir al país algún día en el futuro, y ver Patagonia y Trelew tambien...

As far as I know (I'm Argentinian and spent many holidays in Welsh Patagonian colonies, the Welsh in my country never refused to learn Spanish and they think about themselves as Argentinians as well as Welsh.

The only language they refused to speak was English, for obvious reasons. They came here because of religious problems in Britain. They became very friendly with the Tehuelches (the people that this video call "indians").

Greetings from Buenos Aires!

It´s called "Eisteddfod". Watch on youtube "Y Wladfa - (Patagonia)" by stifyn and read the information he furnishes.

Every year (I think during October) a Festival ( or so) of Welsh Gaelic Poetry takes place with the presence of Welsh poets and writers.

Around 1950 ish, there wer reckoned to be about 120000 Welsh speakers in Patagonia who spoke Welsh as a first language, but those numbers have fallen considerably, due to Central Govennment insisting that Spanish was taught at schools. I've no idea how many people speak Welsh today.

Los araucanos no invadieron la zona, fue Evans con su famoso caballo "malacara" y un grupo reducido de otros galeses (unos 4) se adentraron demasiado hacie el oeste y los atacaron, Evans logró escapar gracias a su caballo q galopó hasta q le sangraron los cascos, linda historia, búsquenla.

[awstinbach]

muy lindo pero segun tengo entendido mis antepasados nunca pelearon con los indijenas nativos de la patagonia(tehuelches)el unico derramamiento de sangre lo prdujeron los primeros araucanos en invadir esta zona cuando asesinaron a unos jovenes hijos de colonos en lo que hoy se conose como valle de los martires
