  • We went to Wales for a brief visit and discovered a whole heap of history that we knew nothing of and really should. If only Welsh was pronounceable! I don't think I manage to pronounce any of the names correctly. One day this Channel will do a history tour of Wales and put all that straight. In the meantime, this is what we came across...

    Welsh and Welsh place names are very easy to pronounce if you just learn the Welsh alphabet. The language is highly phonetic, much more so than English.
    Dyfed is NOT pronounced ‘Diffid’. It is nearer to ‘Dove-ed’. Please! Not difficult is it?!
    One ‘f’ is soft, pronounced like the English ‘v’. Double ‘ff’ is one letter, a hard ‘f’ like the English ‘f’. In Welsh there is no j, k, q, v, x or z.
    But there is a ch, dd, ff, ll, rh, and th.
    Welsh people are used to having the language mispronounced by those unfamiliar with the alphabet. What’s cringing is its mispronunciation by broadcast journalists who have not even checked how to pronounce a place name.
    Machynlleth, Llanelli and Betws Y Coed get mangled almost every time!
