'Nadolig Llawen' means Merry Christmas in which western European language?

Welsh (Cymraeg or y Gymraeg) is a member of the Brittonic branch of the Celtic languages. It is spoken natively in Wales, by few in England, and in Y Wladfa (the Welsh colony in Chubut Province, Argentina).

The United Kingdom Census 2011 recorded that 19% of people who live in Wales can speak Welsh, a decrease from the 20.8% recorded in 2001.

Welsh evolved from Common Brittonic, the Celtic language spoken by the ancient Celtic Britons.

Famous Welsh speakers include : Actors Richard Burton and Rhys Ifans, Opera singer Bryn Terfel, and broadcaster Wynford Vaughan-Thomas

Aileen Brooks , I think she was waiting to see the percentage of Polish speakers to Welsh speakers. It was an account of what she has experienced, very innocuous. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

I used the double l to point me to Welsh.

Lynne Zeman, I guess I should get my DNA tested. Through searching names, it seems that I am also primarily German and English with Irish and Welsh (among others) thrown in.

Anita Clark Morton, two downvotes here. It seems the naysayers feel threatened by the survival of languages and cultures other than their owm. It's called xenophobia.
