Hello

The people of Wales (the Welsh) have their own language of which they are very proud and try to maintain. The language is called "Welsh".

All the people that you mentioned, the Welsh, the Scottish, the Irish, and the Cornish (People from an area of the UK called Cornwall) have strong dialects. Some of them use a form of either Gaelic or Celtic languages. These are very old languages and have died out in some areas such as the Isle of Man.

Look at these links for further information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_language
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_language
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_languages

A dialect is a form of a language that people speak in a particular part of a country, containing some different words and grammar, etc.

A language is a system of communication consisting of sounds, words and grammar, or the system of communication used by the people of a particular country or profession

Definitions from Cambridge Dictionary

My Edit

I believe that you are French Siernan. It might help you to compare the two if I tell you that Vendeen and Charantaise are dialects of the French Language. Whereas Basque is a different language spoken in a particular region. LiKe Gaelic and Celtic the Basque language is very old and remains only in some parts of France and Spain.
