Welsh chroniclesChronicles about Wales – What makes these chronicles "Welsh" is not their language, as noted by the second sentence: These early chronicles are written in Latin, while from the 12th century, some are composed in Middle Welsh. Rather, they are "Welsh" in the sense of being about Wales: chronicles of the history of Wales, as the opening sentence defines them. See also recently renamed categories:

A new CfR proposes renaming Category:Irish chronicles to Category:Chronicles about Ireland, amongst other things. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 07:33, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Why is their language relevant? Many English chronicles are in Latin too. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:08, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Note that I believe those recently renamed categories should be moved back, and have additionally opposed the proposed move of the other categories. I do not understand the relevance of the distinction that is being made here, or the alleged confusion this renaming clears up. SnowFire (talk) 15:22, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @SnowFire If a chronicle is written in Latin, about a story set in France, produced in Ireland, written by a Scottish writer, owned by a Welsh antiquarian, preserved in a museum in England, what should we call it? A Latin, French, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, or English chronicle? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 17:48, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
