I was referring to the Britons, that is the natives of the British Isles whose language is Gaelic.
I have met Scots and Irish people who learnt English as a second language, one of whom was my paternal grandfather who only spoke Irish till he went to sea when he was 12.
It is quite common in Wales for English to be the second language and it is also common in Wales for people to refuse to speak English to a person that they perceive to be English.
My own experience was to speak in Irish whereupon they would immediately switch to English as a common language.
They resist any attempt to force the language of the conquerors upon them.
