The Welsh language belongs to Celtic languages.
It is very different from English.

• Tra mor yn I r bur hoff bau,
• O bydded I r hen iaith barhau.

  land,

  Europe's youngest Capital City, achieving its
  status in 1955, and although it has grown into
  one of the most vibrant cities. It has not lost
  its small town quality

• The name Cardiff is an Anglicisation of Welsh
  name "Caerdydd". Caer" means "fort" or "castle."
  "Dydd" or "Diff" was a corruption of " Taff",
  the river on which Cardiff castle stands, in
  which case "Cardiff" would mean "the fort on the
  river Taff" (in Welsh the T mutates to D)
