Little England beyond Wales is a name applied to an area of southern Pembrokeshire and southwestern Carmarthenshire in Wales, which has been English in language and culture for many centuries despite its remoteness from England. The language boundary with the Welsh-speaking area to the north is known as the Landsker Line. In the 16th century William Camden called the area ''Anglia Transwalliana'', and today the Welsh call it ''Sir Benfro Saesneg'' (''English Pembrokeshire''). ==Etymology== The name ''Little England beyond Wales'' denotes a part of south-west Wales that has been English in language and culture for many centuries despite its remoteness from the English border. 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 approximation of ''Little England beyond Wales'' was in the 16th century, when William Camden called the area ''Anglia Transwalliana''.〔Awbery, Gwenllian M, ''Cymraeg Sir Benfro/Pembrokeshire Welsh'', Llanrwst, 1991, ISBN 0-86381-181-7〕 Most of the area is known in Welsh as ''Sir Benfro Saesneg'', meaning "English Pembrokeshire".〔(Online Welsh dictionary )〕
