Welsch is a German word derived from Walh to designate peoples speaking a non-Germanic language, usually Celtic or Romanesque. Welsch (or welche) is also a Romanesque dialect, spoken in the Welsh country of Alsace, and the name given to those who speak it. In Switzerland, Welsch is the familiar nickname given by the German-speaking Swiss to the French-speaking Swiss. See w:fr:Welsch.
