What languages are spooken in Wales?
English and Welsh are the country's two official languages. English is spoken by close to 100% of the population and Welsh by around 20%. The use of Welsh in everyday life increases the further west and north one goes in Wales.English is the predominant language in Wales although some 20% speak the Welsh language (Cymraeg) which appears to be growing in numbers. There are undoubtedly other languages spoken due to recent immigration.Wales is bilingual so it has two languages it differs in some areas of Wales for instance in South Wales English is more dominant with it being on the signs first then followed by the welsh translation, but in North Wales Welsh is more dominant than English, for example the police in north wales is Heddlu then the English for police and in south wales police would in English first then in Welsh.Note, Heddlu is welsh for policeEnglish, although a small minority also speak Welsh.The main language in Wales is English.Welsh or Cymraeg is the national language of Wales spoken by about 22% of the Welsh population.English is the most widely spoken other language.Actually, only about 15% of Wales is able to speak Welsh. English is spoken by almost 100%.I am welsh and so i would generally say that the national language in wales is welsh, even though i do not speak it myself. it has only recently been approved by the welsh assembly government to be an official language but now that it has it is the national language here.The official languages of Wales are English and Welsh. Roadsigns are offered in both languages, and a native Welsh speaker has a legal right to use his own language for nearly all official purposes. (English is always acceptable, unless there is a specific need for Welsh).The main language used in the country of wales is welsh and EnglishAround 80% speak English and 20% speak Welsh (Cymraeg).Welsh is the official language of Wales but has been dying out until recent years when there seems to have been a increase in interest in the language..The languages they speak in Wales are English and Welsh. About 20%speak Welsh.English is spoken by everyone but about 20% still speak the native language Welsh.It is a Celtic language most closely related to Breton spoken in northwest France.The language is more distantly related to Irish and Scottish Gaelic but they are not intelligible to a Welsh speaker. The language is called Cymraeg in Welsh.People in Wales speak Welsh (20%) and English (80%).People in Wales normally speak English and welsh but there is a lot of diversity of nationalities so I you can think of language it is probably spoken in Wales.Normally Welsh and English but the country is cosmopolitan and therefore other languages are spoken but in a minority

Do people in wales have to speake Welsh if there from a Welsh family?
No one has to speak welsh. Some choose to and others chose not to i guess. My mother was brought up with welsh as her first language , my father was brought up through English and it was my mother who taught him to speak welsh. He probably speaks welsh more than he does English these days... so i was brought up through welsh (i live in south wales... although the north has more welsh speakers than the south - there are pleeeeeenty of people that live their lives through welsh in the south too) A lot of children attending my school have parents who don't speak welsh , however i know there are families who wish to send their children to private schools and so have to send them to English schools. so really... there's a variety. Some speaking no English , some speaking no welsh , some having the ability to speak welsh but chosing to live their lives through English etcetc...

What language is spoken by one fifth of the population in Wales?
Welsh is used as the first language by a fifth of the Welsh population, in preference to English. Opponents of the Welsh language deliberatley misrepresent this fact to suggest that only one fifth of the population can speak Welsh AT ALL, but this is not true. The total number of Welsh people who can speak some Welsh, even if it only amounts to a few words and phrases, amounts to about two-thirds of the country's population. The 'one fifth' bit applies to those who use Welsh in preference to English.
How did England and Wales rivelry begin?
A number of kingdoms formed in the area now called Wales in the post-Roman period. While the most powerful ruler was acknowledged as King of the Britons (later Tywysog Cymru: Leaderor Prince of Wales), and some rulers extended their control over other Welsh territories and into western England, none were able to unite Wales for long. Internecine struggles and external pressure from the English and later, the Norman conquerors of England, led to the Welsh kingdoms coming gradually under the sway of the English crown. In 1282, the death of Llywelyn the Last led to the conquest of the Principality of Wales by King Edward I of England; afterwards, the heir apparent to the English monarch has borne the title "Prince of Wales". The Welsh launched several revolts against English rule, the last significant one being that led by Owain Glyndŵr in the early 15th century. In the 16th century Henry VIII, himself of Welsh extraction, passed the Laws in Wales Acts aiming to fully incorporate Wales into the Kingdom of England. Under England's authority, Wales became part of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 and then the United Kingdom in 1801. Yet, the Welsh retained their language and culture in spite of heavy English dominance. The publication of the extremely significant first Welsh translation of the Bible by William Morgan in 1588 greatly advanced the position of Welsh as a literary language.
What kind of accent does Joseph Morgan have an English or British He was born in London but he lived in Wales for 11 years?
The first thing to point out is that English and British are synonymous. But living in Wales, he would probably acquire something of a Welsh lilt. Being bourne in London, he could have a definite hint of Londoner. Ultimately there is no exact categorization of accents. But if you need to call his accent something, London with a strain of Welsh would probably suffice.
