The Welsh language is an artificial or constructed language developed in the late 1980s by Master Cryptologist and Cunning Linguist Squeamish Ossifrage. Along with Esperanto, Klingon, Arabic, Elvish and French, Welsh is another language that real people do not use, and is merely reserved for annoying the Scousers who travel on holiday. For a brief period Welsh was adopted as the language of heaven, but this led to such extensive flooding on earth that it was discontinued and an assurance given to Noah that it would not be repeated.

- Mothers-to-be in Wales had to be careful what they did before their babies were born. A few of the customs were: if a woman stepped over a grave, her baby would be still-born or die soon after birth. If the expectant mother dipped her hands in dirty water, the baby would grow up to have coarse hands. If the child was born under a new moon, he/she would grow to be eloquent in speech. If the baby was born at night, it would see visions of ghosts and phantoms at funerals. 'Welsh Words & Phrases: Hiroes i'r Iaith Gymraeg ac Cymru am Byth
- Welsh was a language spoken in Wales. In 2006, Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen, posing as the Lord Mayor of Cardiff, Margaret Blaine, chose the name Blaidd Drwg for a nuclear power plant planned for construction in central Cardiff. According to Blon, she chose the name at random, thinking it sounded good. The Ninth Doctor noticed that Blaidd Drwg was Welsh for Bad Wolf, another occurrence of the Bad Wolf meme. (TV: Boom Town) When Donna Noble asked the Tenth Doctor what "Celtic" meant on 23 August 79, he explained that it meant "Welsh". (TV: The Fires of Pompeii)

| - Mothers-to-be in Wales had to be careful what they did before their babies were born. A few of the customs were: if a woman stepped over a grave, her baby would be still-born or die soon after birth. If the expectant mother dipped her hands in dirty water, the baby would grow up to have coarse hands. If the child was born under a new moon, he/she would grow to be eloquent in speech. If the baby was born at night, it would see visions of ghosts and phantoms at funerals. During the christening of the baby, if the infant held up it's head, it would live to be very old. However, if it allowed it's head to fall and rest in the arm of the person holding it, the child would die an early death.

It is a striking fact of genetics that all English people can do a perfect impression of a Welsh accent. This is useful to tourists in Wales as it helps break the ice with the Native Welsh (see also Welsh Jokes).
