	Welsh English definition - Dictionary - MSN Encarta
		Welsh English is the variety of English used in Wales, where it is the majority language, coexisting with Welsh, the surviving Celtic language with the largest number of speakers but a minority language in its homeland.
		Welsh English has three main influences: the Welsh language (mainly in the northern counties, often referred to as "Welsh Wales"; dialects in neighboring counties of England; and school and the media.
		The Welsh are often said to have a singsong accent, perhaps because of their use of a rising-and-falling tone at the end of sentences (rather than a simple fall), and because of their full vowels and stress on usually weak syllables such as the "den" in garden.

	"The Use of Welsh and English as the Medium ofInstruction"
		The 1928 government report The Welsh Language in Education and Life laid the basis for the principle of bilingualism in the education system in Wales, and this was confirmed by the report of the Ministry of Education in 1953, The Place of Welsh and English in the Schools of Wales.
		The rationale for the use of English in Welsh medium education, in particular the concern that total immersion in the Welsh language might hinder the development of the use of good English amongst pupils, was an initial focus of the study.
		English and Welsh test results of pupils were often similar, and this was seen as an indication that performance in both languages was at the expected level for this key stage.

	Articles: Balderdash and flummery
		When English sailors travelled to the South Seas for the first time in the late sixteenth century (one account suggests it was on Drake’s circumnavigation of the world in 1578), they saw birds that to their untutored gaze reminded them of the Great Auk though, zoologically considered, they are quite different.
		Welsh rabbit is basically cheese on toast (the word is not “rarebit” by the way, that’s the result of false etymology; “rabbit” is here being used in the same way as “turtle” in “mock-turtle soup”, which has never been near a turtle, or “duck” in “Bombay duck”, which was actually a dried fish called bummalo).
		A Welsh dresser is regarded as very typical of rural Wales, but is really a survival of the medieval board of the grander sort of English home, once used to pridefully display examples of ceramics and pottery, but in Wales banished to the farm and cottage kitchen as a utilitarian storage item.

	Welsh language, alphabet and pronunciation
		Welsh is a Celtic language spoken as a community language in Wales (Cymru) by about 659,000 people, and in the Welsh colony (Y Wladfa) in Patagonia, Argentina (yr Ariannin) by several hundred people.
		Welsh is fairly closely related to Cornish and Breton, and more distantly related to Irish Gaelic, Manx Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic.
		The earliest known examples of Welsh literature are the poems of Taliesin, which feature Urien of Rheged, a 6th century king in what is now southern Scotland, and Aneirin's Y Gododdin, a description of a battle between Celts and Northumbrians which occurred in about 600 AD.

	Welsh / English Springer Spaniels: A Tale of Two Springers

	History and Status of the Welsh Language
		Welsh is one of the Celtic languages still spoken, perhaps that with the greatest number of speakers.
		English is a language which developed from the confluence of various influences in the Indo-European family, but has surprisingly few signs of direct influence from Welsh.
		It led the campaign for the first Welsh Language Act and is held to be responsible for many of the symbols which have made the existence of the Welsh language more a natural part of public life in the last half of the twentieth century.

	Bilingual Welsh-English Websites
		The Bwrdd yr Iaith or Welsh Language Board has made extensive study of the effectiveness of various designs of bilingual websites, and have issued guidelines based on their study for anyone interested in producing a website in Welsh and English.
		According to their guidelines, the Welsh Language Act of 1993 was a catalyst for equality of the Welsh and English languages in all aspects of public life.
		This means making sure that the project is planned with both Welsh and English in mind-including appropriate translation and proofreading of text, and side-by-side mockups of each language version.

	Appendix D. Using Welsh-English Dictionaries
		Notice that there are many cases where something that would be two letters in English is a single digraph in Welsh.
		Spoken Welsh (and written transcription of spoken Welsh) sometimes drops the first syllable of words and otherwise alters words in a way that makes things difficult for learners.
		The Welsh spellings for the letters come from [Williams80].

	Where to buy English and Welsh wine
		Online outlets are worth a look especially if you live some distance from the English and Welsh vineyards or visited one during the summer and would like more of their wine.
		And if your supermarket is in an area where there are some English or Welsh vineyards but none of their produce is on the supermarket's shelves - complain even more.
		The English wine you buy from a supermarket is not likely to be the best wine that the particular vineyard produces - for one thing the supermarket will have wanted quite a large quantity to make it worthwhile stocking.

		Comment: This is the only good dictionary in Welsh - unfortunately, it weighs a ton, and only covers words from "a" to "obo" at the present time (new parts arrive regularly).

	Globalization Horizons: Welsh-English bilingualism gives boost in pay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		At least part of the reason for the increase in number of speakers is that there are more Welsh-language primary schools now and that English-speaking monolinguals are often sending their children to these schools because they tend to be better schools.
		Children graduating from these schools also tend to be very articulate spokesmen for Welsh nationalism.
		After graduating from standard schooling these children also enjoy an advantage in the job market because of a perception that many of the best-paying public-facing jobs require knowledge of Welsh.
