Welshisms are English words and expressions for the thinking Welshman and Welshwoman in the 21st century World-Wide Community. If we, like the World use the English language in everyday speech and work then why do we not give life and credence to the Welsh way of talking, relating or communicating. At its root are historical terms, expressions or quotes from those who are Welsh of of World-Welsh ancestry throughout history.
