Gwisges I yr flodau'r haf A'r adar a yr gwenyn y gwanwyn A gwisges I yr dail'r hydref A rhew'r gaeaf, feudal ac yn wyn Daeth y tymhorau yn ffrog I mi Dw i'n eu gwisgo bob blwyddyn Ond bob blwyddyn eu lliwiau'n pylu Ac wedi torri'n fwy nag o'r blaen Mae fy nillad yn wedi rhwygo Heb I mi roi caniatad o gwbl I wore the flowers of the summer And the birds and bees of the spring I wore the leaves of the autumn And the winter's frost so soft and white The seasons became a dress for me I wear them every year But every year their colours fade And are more broken than before My clothes are torn without my consent
My offering to #PoemsAbout #consent
Is a particularly nerve wracking piece for me. It's the first time I have shared a piece written in Welsh.
My grammar is atrocious...
But I hope to one day improve.

Rather than assuming simple solutions, the ARI prioritises more descriptive, exploratory questions: Who uses Welsh? In what contexts? With what confidence? And how do these factors interact over time?

These are the points where people’s relationship with Welsh often changes, yet they are also the places where evidence is weakest.

The document also highlights moments of transition as especially important: moving from school to further or higher education, entering work, accessing services, or leaving rural areas.

Dan writes that this isn’t a new strategy or a list of funded projects. Instead, it sets out the questions policymakers most want research to help answer as Wales works towards its goal of a million Welsh speakers.

Amused to spot earlier that there is one extra element of guidance for Welsh speakers at Maindy BMX track than there is for English speakers. Monoglot English speakers can disturb neighbouring residents, but Cymros cannot.

TLDR (4/4):
This story reminds me of the following quotations from Gwynfor Evans about how the #Welsh #language was used (or not) in the legal system.
#langsky #linguistics #Welsh #Cymraeg #Welshlanguage #iaithCymraeg
TLDR (3/4):
As Welsh Language Commissioner Efa Gruffudd Jones noted, this raises serious questions about whether “the basic rights of Welsh speakers are being sufficiently considered.”
#langsky #linguistics #Welsh #Cymraeg #Welshlanguage #iaithCymraeg
TLDR (2/3):
Each name offers a glimpse into Wales’ past: its folklore, its people, and the Cymraeg that shaped both.
As Mark Drakeford put it, “Place names tell the story of who we are and where we’ve come from.”

TLDR (1/3):
The @senedd.wales' call for public submissions has already received nearly 200 responses in just two weeks, as communities rush to record local names that might otherwise vanish from maps — and from memory.

TLDR (4/4):
Now, he’s taking Dim Probs on tour across Wales, performing in village halls and community centres — reconnecting music to place, people, and language.
💬 “If you make music in Welsh,” he says, “you play where people speak Welsh.”
#langsky #linguistics #Cymraeg #Welsh #Welshlanguage
TLDR (3/4):
Thanks to activism, cultural pride, and legislation like the Welsh Language Act (1993), Cymraeg now sits proudly alongside English in daily life — “even the self-service checkout speaks Welsh,” Rhys jokes.
