Celtic Christmas: Ar Lan y Mor

[CalonGwen]

i agree, some mispronunciation but a very good effort and a lovely tribute :) thank you for sharing it with us :)

diolch!

[Celticcousins]

what about cornwall and asturia also celtic nations

The r must be very strongly trilled - so strongly you imagine you are doing it too much but you can't - listen to the chairing of the bard at the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru - you can find it on youtube

Good stuff - come to Wales xxx

This might help - you did it beautifully by the way

'y' in Welsh is always a vowel but it has two sounds - clear and obscure - 'ee' and 'uh' as in Cymry (what the Welsh call theselves) - kuhmree - first is one pronunciation the second is the other

'y' is the definite article and always 'uh'

'yr' before vowels and 'h' 'uhr'

very good, I would suggest getting a linguist to teach proper pronunciation (ar lan y mor is pronounced ahr lahn uh mor, not ahr lan ee mor, to use laymans pronunciation), but the sounds themselves are great, good work.
