There's a whole bunch of Scots and Irish in Chile, it's actually where I get my Scottish blood. There's also a bunch of Germans as well.

Welsh-speaking town? Cool.

I think that where ever there was mining to be done, the Welsh and the Cornish figgered immigrating there was a good bet. Southwestern Wisconsin has descendants of Welsh and Cornish emigres.

Yes indeed there are Welsh speaking communities in Patagonia.

They hold Eisteddfods etc too!

BBC Wales recently showed a programme with a Welsh actor visiting and taking a horse trail journey there. Alas I forget his name.

And let's not forget the large Welsh presence in Pennsylvania, again due to mining.
