Welsh

Studying of its influence on the British English

Introduction

Objective: to determine the degree of influence of Welsh on English

Tasks:

• Identify the main similarities of languages
• Show the degree of influence of one language on another
• Hypothesis: Welsh is in some way an ancestor of English.

General Information

• Welsh belongs to the Brett group of Celtic languages, is widespread in the western part of Britain - Wales, as well as Chubut, a colony of Welsh immigrants in the Patagonia region in Argentina.

Examples of Welsh and English words

• Ysgrifenyddes – [jasgrifinides] – a secretаry

• Nes i fynd adre – [nes ai find eidre] –I went home

• Mẁg – [mлg]- a cup

Pronunciation

• Welsh alphabet:

a b c ch d dd e f f g g ng h i j l l m m o o p p r r r s t th u w y

• English alphabet:

A b c d e f g h I j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Pronunciation

• Stress in Welsh: Aber'ystwyth, Llan'dudno.

• Exceptions: Cym'raeg 'Welsh';

• Verbs in -au, -oi, -eu - ne'sau 'approach';

• Late English borrowing- 'Methodist' Methodist 'and some other cases.

Pronunciation

Articles

• Article: y ,yr and r, r‘,

for example: mae’r gath tu allan .(There is a cat on the street).

• The others use the article yr,

for example: yr ardd.

• Article y: y bachgen.

for example:

• tywysoges "(a certain) princess",
• but y dywysoges "(this) princess

Mutations of the initial consonants

Compare:

dydd Llun - 'Monday‘ and

ddydd Llun - 'on Monday‘

It depends on the preceding word:

• I - 'to', yn - 'to' and a - 'and'.

Verb System

• In colloquial Welsh, most grammatical times use an auxiliary verb, usually bod - 'to be'.
• In English, the verb "BE" is used, for example "I am here.", In English, "I am here" (I am here)

• It is from the Welsh that the manner of the "addition" of the verb has gone.

Grammar

• In general, word order and other grammar are borrowed from Welsh, but words and pronunciation change slightly, since English itself has been the language of the colony for some time. It collected from French, German, Italian and other Central European languages.

Borrowing

Conclusion

In general, Welsh had a great influence on English, having rooted some of its grammatical and syntactic elements in still developing English. During the "formation" of English, Welsh was still in use. The close geographical location of Wales and Britain itself further contributed to the development of English in the Welsh "style."
