HelpRe: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
Wow! I dont think we've had many Welsh BA's before, it's nice to see! I like / love*:
Lleu *(Gethin)- How is Lleu prononounced?
Huw (brother Ynyr)- How on Earth do you pronounce Ynyr?!
(parents Gwion andd Nicola)
Cai (Dafydd*)
Eneas Daniel*
Cian ( Gwen, brother Elis*)- Gwen only as a nn for a longer name like Gwyneth / Gwendolen etc. Elis is cool!

Lol, Lleu is a tricky one outside Wales. The Welsh ll is a single letter for which there's no equivalent in English. Basically, you put your tongue against your teeth as if you're going to make an 'l' sound, but instead just blow out around the sides of your tongue. Then the eu part is pronounced like 'eye'.
Ynyr is much easier! - UN-eer.
