#we’ve heard the all

So, I made a post about bad Welsh translation and saw a hashtag that said something about Welsh having so few vowels and so many consonants.

The thing is that Welsh is a different language and therefore our words look different.

The English alphabet has 26 letters of which 5 are vowels (A. E. I. O. U).

BeholdYr Wyddor- the Welsh alphabet. We have 29 letters and 7 (seven) of those are vowels (A. E. I. O. U. W. Y) Though Y is a vowel when it wants to be AND a consonant when it wants to be- it’s just cool like that. So we actually have two more vowels than English.

Words like dŵr- water or wyth-eight or llychlyd-dusty have vowels in them just not the ones you’re used to so you may think they don’t.

Also yes some of our letters are made up of two together- it changes the sound they make. F makes a V sound like in Voice and FF makes a F sound like in Four.
