Crowdercref	Ever played a Welsh Crwth? (67* d)	RE: Ever played a Welsh Crwth?	26 Sep 07
A Bryn ker, My drifting friend (!), You asked 'll' in Kernoweg pronounced as the 'll' in Cymraeg ? No it's not. It's just an 'l' s to speak. We do have some fine (usually circular) arguments about pronounciation, but that's not one of them! Our problems stem from the fact that our 'classical' Cornish literature is largely late medieval, (1400-1540) but place names and later literature show many signs of linguistic evolution (as you might expect). Some of the fun items are dh=th (soft) th=th (hard) gh=h (aspirate) wh=h (aspirate) f=v (often but not always) hard c, k and g are often equivalent depending on whch old MS you're studying. Initials mutate in a way analagous to Welsh Oll an Gwella Crowdercref
