Welsh is more in keeping with other Celtic languages and those in France and Spain

As a very simple example in Europe and the Celtic lands in the UK the English phrase

Yes, Welsh is a member of the Brittonic branch of the Celtic languages. It is spoken natively in Wales, by few in England, and in Y Wladfa (the Welsh colony in Chubut Province, Argentina).

Historically, it has also been known in English as "Cambrian", "Cambric" and "Cymric".

Yes. Welsh is a Celtic language and English is a Germanic language. For instance, English is more closely related to Dutch; Welsh would be more closely related to the Irish/Scottish Gaelic.
