Browsing Technorati, the blog directory, this morning led me to the Aberdare Blog - if you got some spare time, nip over there and take a look.

Wikipedia, the Free online Encyclopedia, has some interesting information on the Welsh language.
Covering the language’s history, grammar, dialects and more, the Wiki section on Welsh is quite an eye-opener. Even if you come from Wales or live here, there’s still a great deal which you can learn from 10 minutes reading Wiki’s notes.
