To the people in the comments who moan about Welsh being too hard or awkward, try investing more than a day into it. Welsh is spoken by 500,00 - 800,000 people. It has been spoken in Britain for thousands of years, before and alongside English, and it and its speakers are worthy of respect. It really isn't a difficult language to learn in comparison withother languages like Chinese, Basque or any other language. Instead of rolling over and playing along with tired old jokes and stereotypes, people need to learn about Welsh. So when someone says, 'Welsh is too hard' or 'Welsh has no vowels', don't play along, correct them respectfully. There are aspects of the language that appear difficult, but in reality, they're quite common. Like consonant mutation, we see this in English as well as Welsh: leaf - leaves, knife - knives. Don't fuel ignorance. Welsh has 7 vowels: A E I O U W Y. I amd W can also act as consonants. The single consonants are as follows: B C D F G H J L M N P R S T Double consonants* : Ch Dd Ff Ng (Ngh) Mh Nh Ph Rh Th *despite containing two letters, the double consonants count as single letters. And each consonant represents 1 sound, as does each vowel besides U, Y, I and W. C, as in Latin, always has the sound k F always has the sound v, as in 'very' or 'of' Ff always has the sound f, as in 'fish' or 'off' G as in Good, never as in germ. Ch as in Scouse booch or Scottish Loch Dd has the sound of, 'th', as in The, This, Those. Th = Thin, Thought, Through. W has two sounds, as in: Water, War, and Cool, fool. And so on. Oni fynnwch fyned yn waeth nag anifeiliaid, mynnwch addysg yn eich iaith.

Forget everything you know about English and just learn it, as is, and it's really not that hard. The character I portray at the renaissance faire I work at is Welsh (when everyone else wanted to be Irish, Scottish or English) and there have been a few times I've run into a Welsh family who get so excited to not only see a Welsh character but to hear Welsh spoken and sung.

I warn you it is very emotional listening (I'm shedding tears just thinking of it, I was a child in Wales when the disaster happened, my Da used to visit Aberfan every year after it happened to pay his respects) but it is an amazing piece of broadcasting and well worth a listen if you love this song.

Im English not Welsh (proudly part Welsh though with a Welsh last name) I've got a question. Why are your people not enthusiastically migrating back to England where your ancestors got kicked out of? The Bretons in the middle ages were desperate to return to England. To Britain. So why aren't modern Bretons using modern economic and travel opportunities to move to Britain?
My father is from Wales, my mother from England where I grew up (both of my parents have died) I used to love going to wales for holidays when I was a child and getting to hear my dad chatting to his family and friends in their Welsh language; I only wish my dad had taught me more than nos da and how to count to ten in Welsh, oh and Sit mae hevu (sp)
I hate that we were pushed into English speaking schools rather then our own welsh schools but things are looking up there’s more welsh schools now more than ever not like back in the 80s plus sport rugby and football is helping massively Keep the language alive ❤
Theres a very large increase in speaker since the 2000s about a 3rd can speak fluent now (last i checked) and it looks like its only increasing although CO19 sorta messed up education tho, but maybe itll get back on track. Cant wait to see the stats in the next few years
the problem with welsh speaking schools is that it can make university or higher education more difficult if you go to an english speaking course afterwards- i've had family who really struggled because of it in uni.
@@JamesBryce-yq8vs I'm quite optimistic. My first language is not English either, but I am studying in the UK. I used to meet a Welsh speaker on the street saying to me"my English is not good enough because my first language is welsh". But I think he was too humble. His English was much better than most international students including me. Welsh speakers' English may not be as perfect as their Welsh, but they are true bilingual, fluent in both Welsh and English. While a majority of English native speakers are monolingual.
As someone whose first language is not English (Italian), all I can say to you is to keep your language alive, to keep your heritage alive - our heritage is a part of our identity.

@@jacobparry177 I can confirm that French spelling is scary, even after four years of studying it at school (or maybe because of that). Welsh spelling however is logical and relatively easy to memorise in my opinion. While I definitely haven't picked up most of the grammar after only nine month of learning, it's been very enjoyable.
My ancestry is Welsh on Dad's side / English on Mom's side - both raised in their native ways - boy it was interesting - "Dad how come you married Mom? (answer) They run slower" - as yrs. past Dad lost his Welsh but did use 1 word a lot to us boys - (spelling?) it sounded like caughta gag (we didn't know the meaning but we all fill silent) - beautiful singing - love it!
@Alex John Thank you for the spelling & definition - all these yrs. (81) & I felt that's what it meant - a side note: I questioned my Dad's Welshness because he was a poor singer but that didn't stop him from singing at church (I miss hearing him now) - again thanks
@Alex John 11:30 am PST - Sat. for me - my grandfather was a miner in northern Wales - fled there because he wanted to organize a union - ended up in Missouri USA with family (turn of the century - 1900's) - he was part of organizing a union in the state - yes his older brothers & sisters could sing so my dad felt left out
"Men like my father cannot die. They are with me still, real in memory as they were in flesh, loving and beloved forever. How green was my valley then."
This would be a great national anthem for wales. I can just imagine sheep peacefully grazing in a flowery field near a castle as the Shepard eats a nice picnic with his trusty sheepdog.
Welsh is still the dominant language in parts of North Wales. When I visited Blaenau Ffestiniog nearly everyone was Welsh-speaking. But I've spent far more time in the south (in Newport) where you hear much less Welsh.

The song of Myfanwy details a man coming to the realisation that his partner, Myfanwy (a welsh woman's name) no longer loves him. The song is a tribute of his melancholy, and the acceptance that he will never ask her to stay with him unless she loves him as much as he loves her. The song ends with their parting, and the narrator wishing her her life well.
