Little England beyond Wales
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!

The language boundary between this region and the area to the north where Welsh is more common, sometimes known as the Landsker Line, is noted for its sharpness and resilience. Although it is probably much older, the first known use of the term was in the sixteenth century, when William Camden called the area Anglia Transwalliana. Most of the area is known in Welsh as Sir Benfro Saesneg, meaning "English-speaking Pembrokeshire".
