Welsh identity
Welsh identity refers to the sense of unique cultural, historical, and linguistic belonging experienced by people from Wales. It encompasses pride in Wales's rich traditions, language (Welsh or Cymraeg), history, and landscape. Welsh identity also involves shared values of community, resilience, and a connection to the country's natural environment and local customs. This sense of identity is expressed through language, music, festivals, and political aspirations for cultural preservation and autonomy, all contributing to a strong collective sense of being Welsh within the broader context of the United Kingdom.
