Dialects of the Welsh Language from around Wales and Beyond

Native Speakers of Welsh Dialects from across Wales and even from Liverpool and Argentina.

[@Jamestele1]

The lady from Rhosllanerchrugog is very close to where my dad's family were from. I speak some Welsh, but hearing native speakers is awesome.

[@hanifleylabi8071]

North walian accents are so beautiful to my untrained anglophone ear. Same when they speak English.

[@Faliat]

The Liverpool dialect of Welsh featured is an especially interesting one here since there's an accent from Liverpool called Everton. My mother and her parents grew up there and other people I've met from that area of the city before a lot of it was torn down in the 1960s, or their parents were from there, speak VERY similarly in terms of the patterns of stress and tone to the Welsh in this video but in English. And it turns out this was one of the areas of the city where a large amount of the population spoke Welsh. Likely in the dialect heard here or similar, although Saunders Lewis was born in Wallasey on the other side of the Mersey estuary so his Welsh may be slightly different yet further. This isn't even older people, either. There's younger people still in Everton now that speak a lot more similarly to people from the older days than other Scouse accents in the city. My sister and some of her exes included. It's also how I speak when I code switch to Scouse. Traits of the accent also remain in nearby Anfield and Vauxhall areas but the old Everton accent is still very distinct from them.

Hi, that's very interesting, thank you for sharing your story. ✨ I've been listening to this youtuber's stories for a long time and I love the accent. I've been wanting to know where is this comes from for a long time, because I'd love to learn it. I've heard that this person is from Scotland and it was specified in a video from another channel of the same that this accent is Welsh, but I don't know where exactly, because all these accents are very diverse. This is one of the videos where this narrator tells their story and you can hear the accent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3LNqWSDbLiLrrM I would appreciate if you could listen to it and if you can distinguish it, thank you 😊 🙌

[@Jamestele1]

I used to hear people joke that Liverpool was the second Capital of Wales! I also heard a guy names John Lennon call it the other capital of Ireland! Great city, either way.

[@Faliat]

@@Jamestele1 Part of Liverpool is historically Welsh other Part Irish. You can still see it in the street names and architecture and accents and the family names of the people that live there sometimes. North Liverpool is more Irish South Liverpool is more Welsh but there's Lancastrian influenced parts too.

[@LiverpoolGarden]

My mother’s family moved from northern Wales to Allerton, Liverpool in the 1930’s because my grandfather (Taid) was a seaman and Liverpool was where the ships left on long voyages. I remember my mum and her family speaking Welsh when they didn’t want the grandchildren listening to the adult conversation. I learned a few Welsh words growing up. I left England to live in America when I was 15 and I haven’t heardthe Welsh language since. I really enjoy watching these KZbin videos about the Welsh people and their beautiful language. Thank you for sharing.

[@importedmusic]

I'm from Cardiff and even the accent from Newport is different. Takes some years to pick up on it but it's definitely different.

[@ac1646]

Yes. The Newport accent has a very distinctive cadence to it. I was in conversation with a lady from Newport who is a distant relative of an English friend through marriage. Said 'friend' had remarked 'oh so-and-so is SO Welsh, she sounds so funny, ha ha,' (yes, she liked to make fun and sound superior). But this lady didn't have the same distinctive sound that my Newport relatives had so I asked her, out of curiosity, what part of Wales she came from. 'Oh, I'm not Welsh, I'm English but I've lived in various parts of Wales for so long, I've picked up the accent.' Took the wind our of my friend's sails a treat. I couldn't stop laughing. 😂😂 For context, I'm Welsh but have lived in England for the greater part of my life so speak with an English accent, but there are some words I cannot pronounce with an English accent, (view, glue, blew; anything with that vowel sound). At least it's a way to hold on to my Welshness. 😃

Although I'm as english as they come, i find this fascinating. If you imagine that there had been no anglo saxon invasion from what is now northern Germany and denmark, and then if the romans didn't push native celts westwards to wales and northern towards present day scotland, then this beautiful language is presumably how people in the whole of "britain" would speak today(?). Did the people who built Stonehenge speak this language? I don't see why not. 🤔

None of these were aboriginals. The only survivors from the pre-Indo-European language speakers in Europe are the Basques.

Welsh was heavily influenced by latin, so no, not stonehenge- but Welsh was pretty concreted from soon after the Romans left GB, so if the Anglo Saxon migration/invasion never happened, sure! Strathclyde is famously welsh from ~800AD.

[@MarcEvans_FfotoMarc]

Yes we can tell - just as you can with English dialects - to within the square mile if you're good at it. It's not just vocabulary and intonation, the dialect area can develop a particular voice, that can be heard whatever the language, Welsh or English. It comes from where and how the voice is produced, how nasal, how far back or high in the mouth vowels are made, the rhythm, the breathing of the sentence. Vowels are hugely important in this - consistent within dialects but varying between them, sometimes greatly.

[@johnjohansson6277]

In short, yes. Depending on how strong the accent is we can instantly tell the general area some is from.

[@Knappa22]

@Ken Easley - it’s not just accent. Very basic words are also different e.g the word for ‘out’ (allan/mas) ‘woman’ (dynes/menyw) and hundreds of others.
