Thread Name: Help with Welsh please
Subject: RE: Help with Welsh please
The Welsh of Strathclyde which included Cumbria was a very distinct dialect from the Welsh of what is now Wales and modern Welsh has probably developed at least as much from those days as English has from its pre Chaucerian form. Add the passage of the name through non-Welsh speakers and even the association with St Mungo becomes problamatical.
