Scotland and wales are not considered part of England?
Indeed they aren't- Scotland has never been considered a part of England, Wales used to be seen as a part of it by some people during the years of the British Empire, although this was never accepted by the Welsh themselves and the country became re-acknowledged as a separate entity in the early 20th Century. Some old atlases and maps can still be found that have 'England' written across Wales as well, and old encyclopaedias used to put 'For Wales, see England' in their entries, but this caused outrage even at the time.

Why is wales sometimes spelled gyrmu in welsh?
depends on the sound before it, of wales, o cymru becomes o gymru. It makes the sound harder because of a vowel or a softer sound before it. It is also affected by the gender but it is mainly the sound.
It's like in English:
An Apple - Vowel
A Car - Consonant
Hunan wasanaeth - Self Service (pronounced. Heenan wasanaith) is one where you reverse it.
Gwasanaeth is the proper word for service but because of the last sound in Hunan, the Nuh sound, you take off the G because you already have a hard sound.
Most welsh speakers don't bother in general conversation though. Hope this answers your question. :-)
What river joins England and Wales and how long is it?
The Wye river forms the boundary between England and Wales for part of its length. It is 215 km long. The River Dee forms the boundary between England and Wales for part of its length. It is 110 km long. But forming the boundary is separating England and Wales, not joining them.
The Severn river rises in the Cambrian Mountains of Powys, Wales then flows across the border and into England, then flows through Shropshire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire before forming an estuary between England and Wales. Does that count as joining the two countries? Taking the river as ending and the estuary beginning at Severn Beach, South Gloucestershire, the Severn is 354 km long.
You have to ask whether any river joins England and Wales. It is the sovereignty of the British Crown that joins them, and the authority of the Westminster Parliament.
