Welsh are un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech,
saith, wyth, naw, deg. The ones John gave are
often cited as folk reminiscences of Cumbrian (a
sort of midland Welsh, from the Cumbrian region
of England, from the days when Welsh was spoken
clear up into the Strathclyde). You can see some
clear relation between the Welsh and Cumbrian;
though the ravages of English dominance are
telling.
