Hype for the Future 47F: Welsh Features

Welsh names are often associated with the Celtic roots of Wales, with pronunciations largely attached to the Welsh orthographic system, which often results in names apparently lacking vowels or having a lack of vowels, as in Bryn Mawr, Gwynedd, Bala Cynwyd, Merion (from Merioneth), Carmarthen, Caernarfon, Gwent (formerly known by the English name of Monmouth), and Glamorgan. While Cardiff is the English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 spelling of the capital city of Wales, the Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 spelling is “Caerdydd.”
