The visitors in question have travelled 8,000 miles from the Welsh speaking outpost of Patagonia, on the southern tip of Argentina. The fascinating history of how these visitors from an essentially Spanish speaking country, also come to speak the ‘language of heaven’ dates back to the first half of the 19th century. It’s all about how companies “speak” in their communications. Patagonia has cultivated a brand voice that is direct, educational, and trustworthy. Take this email I got from them the other Most Chilean and Argentinian people in the tourism industry will speak very good English, and your guides will always be Spanish-English speaking unless otherwise specified. If you're travelling more independently then some basic Spanish skills will serve you well, particularly in arranging things like transport and accommodation. There are records of welsh speakers in Patagonia. There are also records of native Americans also using the language In Patagonia Welsh is the most spoken language apart from Spanish, and there are Welsh schools out there. German, English and French are also spoken by a few people in Argentina. The links between Wales and Patagonia continue to flourish. The Welsh Language Project continues to do its brilliant work in the region, having promoted Welsh in schools, workshops, and social activities across the Chubut Valley since 1997. The centenary in 1965 reawakened the link, but could not stop the language from attenuation. Fifty years on, I’ve come to Welsh Patagonia to see how Welsh it still is. Most Patagonians born before 1950 speak Welsh as a first language. They have the confidence of native speakers, while the softness of Spanish diction makes their plosives (p,t,c,b,d,g) less sonorous. The strong, guttural ‘ch’ sound is more mellow. There are phrases that show how Spanish has influenced Welsh syntax. Both Chilean and Argentinians speak spanish or a derivation of it called castellano, which is a little different from the spanish from Spain. Add to it the different accent. When you come here you will know what I am talking about. Many people know some English so you can communicate here, no problem. Spanish is the official language in Patagonia. Mapudungun, German, and Welsh are minority languages of Patagonia, as Spanish is the predominant and official language of both the Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia. Spanish settlements & patagonia
