It is characterized by its own language, Welsh, which remains widely spoken. The culture also encompasses various art forms such as literature, music, and visual arts, with notable figures like Dylan Thomas and Owain Glyndwr making significant contributions. Distinctive Welsh customs include Eisteddfodau, annual festivals of literature, music, and performance, and the tradition of singing hymns in chapels.
