Welsh has been spoken continuously for over 1,500 years, making it one of the few Celtic languages to survive into the modern era. The language endured centuries of suppression — most notably the 19th-century \"Welsh Not,\" a wooden token used to punish schoolchildren caught speaking Welsh — before a remarkable revival took hold in the 20th century. Today, approximately 900,000 people speak Welsh, and \u003cem\u003eCroeso\u003c\/em\u003e appears on road signs, in shop windows, and above doorways across Wales as a proud, everyday expression of national identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coir doormat features \u003cem\u003eCroeso\u003c\/em\u003e in a bold, characterful design that celebrates the Welsh language and the culture of welcome it represents.
