Welsh English Dialect is the latest title in the highly successful Dialect series from Bradwell Books and features a selection of words and anecdotes from around Wales. Fuelled by the pronunciation, grammar and words of a former Celtic language (Welsh, or Cymraeg), Wales’ English dialect - “Welsh English” - resonates loudly in the ‘Land of Song’. The book covers a range of these Welsh English expressions: from words of the southern Valleys to those in North Wales; from jocular sayings of the eastern Borders to those along the western Gower coastline. Provided throughout are insights into some of these words’ origins and anecdotal stories associated with them. Also, within its pages are collections of occupational words from histori-cal workplaces such as the Welsh mines and farms, as well as unique Welsh terminology related to children’s games, food customs and cultural traditions.
