area in Wales, Standing on the banks of the River
USK, it is located about 12 miles east of Cardiff and
is the largest urban area within the historic city.
The City of Newport, which includes rural areas as
well as the built up area, is governed by the unitary
Newport City Council, and has a population of
140,200, making it the seventh most
populous unitary authority in Wales.

accent of Newport is distinctive, quite different
from that of nearby Cardiff and has some of the
influence of rural Monmouth shire. An influx of
Mainlanders 100 years ago, when the Lysaghts
steelworks was opened, has also had some effect.
Many aspects of the accent are clearly discernible
in songs by Newport-based satirical rap group
Goldie Looking Chain.Welsh is the language which
is spoken in newport.

used in Newport is different from the languages
spoken in around areas..Its very difficult for a non

understands the words written in welsh
language.2nd language of Newport is English
language. there are many people who can speak
English.In schools is now taught as a 2nd language
as a compulsory subject.
