Thread Name: Dacw Nghariad - need English phonetics
Subject: RE: Dacw Nghariad
One of my favourites! I had seen some site where they did give the phonetics. Have you tried googling it? What you should do is find a basic guide to the Welsh language, like the one at BBC Wales for example. It's an incredibly difficult and subtle language and you wont get the phonetics right in day, so it's worth studying. Anyway, here's a stab at it but I'll be glad to be corrected:
