   the question is, British what? language or culture? Undoubtably there is a   
   blend of all as some amalgm, but that is not to say that each of Irish,   
   Welsh, Scotch, Mamx, Cornish, and Bretons do not have their own and distinct   
   culture.

   The word WALESC [alt. 'Waugh'] means "foreigner" or "stranger" in Anglo   
   Saxon. And is ironically the term used for the 'Cornish' [being the   
   inhabitants of the West Wessex 4 counties and southern Cymru] who the Saxons   
   encountered here.
