In reply to Ridge:

Indeed it was, but only one person suggested a way to pronounce Yr Wyddfa, which is at least a start.

The pronunciation suggestions in the article are a bit off IMO but I suppose they are better that what most non Welsh speakers will normally manage.

I rely on Richard Burton's pronunciation in the original BBC production of Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas..

My Welsh friend whose name has a "dd" in it, said that dd is pronounced more like the start of the English word "the"

'With' - 'Va'

In reply to Ian Carey:

So is SNP going to settle on Cadair or Cader Idris?

In reply to pancakeandchips:

I think Nicola Sturgeon's got enough on her plate what with trying to be Queen of Scotland to worry about Welsh place names
