Welsh language: Celtic language of Wales. Besieged for centuries by the English language, Welsh continues to be spoken by 18-20% of the population of Wales, or more than half a million people, though estimates of the actual number of first-language speakers vary widely. Welsh is traditionally divided into three periods: Old Welsh ( 800-1150), attested mainly in glosses and short textual passages; Middle Welsh ( 1150-1500), with a rich medieval literature including poetic texts originally composed much earlier; and Modern Welsh (from 1500). Modern literary Welsh was largely fixed by William Salesbury's Bible translation. Vernacular Welsh, split along dialectal lines, has long been diverging from literary Welsh; many modern speakers cannot write or easily understand the traditional written language. The issue of an acceptable modern standard remains unresolved
Welsh literary renaissance: Literary activity in Wales and England in the mid-18th century that attempted to stimulate interest in the Welsh language and in the classical bardic verse forms of Wales.

The movement gave rise to many publications and helped reestablish local eisteddfods and, in the early 19th century, the National Eisteddfod. A second revival began with the establishment of the University of Wales at the end of the 19th century
