Llanelli
Llanelli ("St Elli's Parish"; (:ɬaˈnɛɬi)), the largest town in both the county of Carmarthenshire and the preserved county of Dyfed, Wales, sits on the Loughor estuary on the West Wales coast, approximately west-northwest of Swansea and south-east of the county town, Carmarthen. The town is famous for its proud rugby tradition and is a centre of tinplate production.〔Paxton, J. (1999) The Penguin Encyclopedia of Places. 3rd edition. London: Penguin.〕
In the mid-20th century, Llanelli was the largest town in the world where more than half the population spoke a Celtic language.〔The Welsh Academy Encyclopedia of Wales. Cardiff: University of Wales Press 2008.〕 It is ranked the 7th largest urban area in Wales. According to the 2011 UK Census returns, 23.7% of Llanelli town residents could speak the Welsh language.
Llanelli is surrounded by a number of villages and communities in the Llanelli Rural district. Some of these communities, especially ones that immediately surround the town, are often unofficially referred to as Llanelli.〔(Carmarthenshire County Council: Area and density of Community Wards )〕
