Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Two books in one, Wenglish combines the practical qualities of a reference book with a general introduction to Wenglish, the English dialect of the south Wales valleys. It gives the perfect introduction to how the way we speak in this area developed in the first place, and the part played by the people who speak it and the landscape itself. As a reference book it offers an alphabetical glossary, dialogue examples, grammar and exercises, so that you can try your hand or even teach yourself Wenglish, as well as learning all about it.
