East Wales is a term sometimes used to refer to the easternmost part of Wales. Like the other regions of Wales, it has no official status and definitions of its actual area vary.
One definition would include most of the county of Powys in mid-Wales, Flintshire and Wrexham County Borough in the north-east, and Monmouthshire and Newport in the south-east. Another definition of east Wales would be that area of the Welsh Marches which lies within Wales itself. Generally, the Welsh language is less widely-spoken in much of this region than in most other parts of Wales.
