English hasn't anything that comes close to 'cynghanedd' in Welsh poetry.( I suppose alliteration is the closest).Here is a Welsh 'englyn'...enjoy! Adeiladwyd gan dlodi Nid cerrig ond cariad yw'r meini, Cyd-ernes yw'r coed arni Cyd-ddeheu a'i cododd hi. I only speak English when there are non-Welsh people in our group too. I live in an area where 80%+ are Welsh speaking. It's great. We have some English people in our village but luckily they are not anti-Welsh like some incomers. Some have the cheek to come here to live then complain that the signs are bilingual, that their kids are taught Welsh at school and that the Welsh language is a necessary qualification for some jobs here. Amanda has just written a load of garbage...she's obviously put it through a translator. It makes no sense and has English words eg nobody...left untranslated. Not even a good effort.

Sut dach chi? Dw i'n byw yn Iwerddon. Dw i'n hoffi Cymraeg! :-) I'm from Ireland and I speak Irish Gaelic. I'm learning Welsh. I think the language and people are cool.

Once you learn the conventions, I'm told, it becomes easier. You say that you are Welsh, so is Welsh your first language? It can't be English, or you would know that your word "they're" should be "their". And of course I'm prepared to love the Welsh people, who are one-quarter of my ancestors.

"they're" is a contraction of "they are" 3) If you want multiple people's views you need to use the plural of "other's" which is "others' " Hope these corrections are of help. I couldn't even pronounce a single word of Welsh properly... iechyd da!

Obviously some of those minor languages have died down but at least there are still such strong languages left like Welsh! I also adore the strong Welsh culture very much, and the way the Welsh language is still used to maintain the traditions of e.g. music, poetry, litterature and various festivals in general!
