Cardiff, Wales, UK

The Welsh can say in one word what it takes Anglophones 26 words to say: The church of St. Mary's in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the church of St. Tysilio by the red cave. As countries look for elements of their culture to set them apart, the Welsh have found aurum in their language, one of the oldest in Europe. [2005]
