Why Is Welsh Spoken in Some Parts of Argentina?

Welsh is sometimes known as the language of heaven (Iaith y nefoedd)
My biggest complaint about #Mastodon, at the moment, is the inability to #translate posts. Being given the option to translate a post, from a language you don't speak, should be on by default. There are some posts I can click an option to translate and others (see example image), I can't.
It does bug me as I would very much like to know what these #Japanese posts are saying, especially those that relate to #anime.

If the UK is to wean itself off exporting to the USA, which would seem to be a good idea right now, then despite our historic mono-lingualism, many firms will be needing to think about the sorts of non-English language resources & staff they will need to compete effectively in foreign markets.
Many firms manage it but too often the US market has been seen as an easy place to sell due to a common language.
Time to recruit multi-linguists (and by extension, teach them)!
When did #human #language emerge?
A new analysis suggests our language capacity existed at least 135,000 years ago, with language used widely perhaps 35,000 years after that
