It is one of the most emphatic expressions of hospitality in one of Europe's oldest living languages. Welsh is a Brythonic Celtic language with roots stretching back over 1,500 years, descended from the tongue of the ancient Britons. It survived the Acts of Union of 1536 and 1543, which sought to remove it from public and legal life, and the notorious 19th-century Welsh Not — a wooden token hung around the neck of any child caught speaking Welsh at school. Today, Welsh is co-official across Wales and spoken by approximately 900,000 people. Phrases like \u003cem\u003eCroeso cynnes iawn\u003c\/em\u003e are a living reminder that the language — and the warmth it carries — was never lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coir doormat features \u003cem\u003eCroeso cynnes iawn\u003c\/em\u003e in a bold, characterful design that brings the very warmest of Welsh greetings to any front door.
