    • 1795 November 19, Hester Lynch Piozzi, Thraliana:
      [T]hough a good Cambro-Briton as I hope, and properly Zealous for my Countrys Glory, I have lived too long in England not to laugh when reading of Madog and Fadog and Cywrgie [] .
    • 1868, Thomas Nicholas, The Pedigree of the English People, page 442:
      History proves that for centuries the Anglo-Saxons fought, formed treaties, intermarried with the Cymbric race [...] They even themselves passed through intermixture out of the properly Anglo-Saxon into the Cambro-Saxon phase, constituting in fact a new race.
    • 1993, Martin John Ball, James Fife, The Celtic Languages, →ISBN, page 311:
      In present-day Colloquial Welsh borrowed nouns retain noun plurals in the exact shape that they occur in Cambro-English; for example (in north-western areas): [kondəktərs] 'conductors', loris 'lorries'.
