In this article, the phrase "origin of the word Welsh" links to a page titled "History of the term Vlach" and I don't see what one has to do with the other. Just because the latter article says "see also Welsh" at one point doesn't mean the history of "Vlach" has much to do with the word "Welsh." Jontveit

Earlier versions of "the latter article" perhaps did not make the connection sufficiently clear, but "Vlach" has everything to do with "Welsh", See, inter alia:
Welsh Walloon is the name given to the French speaking people of Belgium. Welsh is the English word for the original Celtic inhabitants of Britain. Both words have a common origin in the Germanic word walah which simply means foreigner and was bestowed upon these Romanised Celtic peoples by invading Germanic tribes (i.e. Saxons, Angles, Dutch etc).[1] -- Picapica 23:04, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
