Hello. I was wondering if anyone could clarify how you pronounce “Cymraeg”. I am doing the South course and have always understood that it is pronounced “Cumr-eye-g” but the course pronounces it as “Cumr-ahh-g”. All,advice would be very welcome! Diolch yn fawr.
It’s a quite common variation in the South to pronounce Cymraeg as “Cymrâg” or even “Cwmrâg”. Pronouncing the “ae” like English “eye” is more predominant in the North, but you’ll hear it in the South as well. Just go with the pronunciation that feels comfortable to you.
