Welsh links to the Berbers
Some while ago I recall reading that there was supposedly some link between the Welsh and the Berber peoples of North Africa. I seem to remember that the crux of this theory was that the Welsh were decedents of a people of Iberian stock who migrated to Wales via Asia long ago in antiquity.
These primeval wanderers are supposed to have been part of a group called the Hamitic people and the remnants of these people are represented by ancient Egyptians and by the modern day Berbers.
Often quoted empirical evidence of this link is that certain discrete communities of the native Welsh people are generally of short dark appearance and also share other common anthropological and sociological similarities with the Berbers. One of the most often heard associations is that there is a very discernable similarity between the Welsh and modern Berber language.
Not being at all cognisant of any aspect of the Welsh, or indeed, the Berber languages; I was wondering whether anyone had any further information or direct experience of a link between the two?
