Welsh (Cymraeg or y Gymraeg, pronounced [kəmˈrɑːɨɡ, ə ɡəmˈrɑːɨɡ]) is a member of the Brittonic branch of the Celtic languages spoken natively in Wales, by some in England, and in Y Wladfa (the Welsh colony in Chubut Province, Argentina). Historically it has also been known in English as "the British tongue", "Cambrian", "Cambric" and "Cymric".
The 2011 UK Census counted 3.1 million residents of Wales. Of these, 73% (2.2 million) reported having no Welsh language skills. In 2011, 27% (837,000) of the total population of Wales were born outside Wales. Of the residents of Wales aged three and over, 19% (562,000) reported being able to speak Welsh, and 77% of these were able to speak, read and write the language (making 431,000 – 15% of the total population). This can be compared with the 2001 Census, in which 20.8% of the population (582,000) reported being able to speak Welsh. In surveys carried out between 2004 and 2006, 57% (315,000) of Welsh speakers described themselves as fluent in the written language.

Bhiksha Mein Jo Bhi Dogi
Devi Main Sab Le Lunga Prem Pujaari Hu Main
Prem Kyun Bich Mein Laaye
Kyun Jhute Paath Padhaaye Pandit Anaadi Re Tu
Huun Dil Ka Sachcha
Waade Ka Pakka Aisi Baaton Mein Kuchh Bhi Na Rakha
Kehata Huun Sabke Saamane Darling Shaadi Main Tujhse Karunga
Jaanu, Nahi, Shaadi Main Tujhse Karunga
Raaju, Nahi, Shaadi Main Tujhse Karunga
Are Shaadi Main Sabse Karunga
Jaanu, Baby Listen To Me Are Chhod, Chhod, Chhod
Main Tumhaare Bachchon Ka Baap Nahi Ban Sakata
