Welsh English


Although it is a Celtic country with more speakers of a Celtic language than any other such country, the English of the Welsh is remarkably standard when compared to Irish or Scottish English (in the north-west of Scotland). The most salient feature of Welsh English is the intonation which is similar to that of the Welsh language. People from Wales also tend to have a low central vowel in a word like bad [bad] rather than [bæd].
