Welsh (Cymraeg) is a Brythonic Celtic language spoken by approximately 880,000 people in Wales, making it the most widely spoken Celtic language in the world. Welsh has been spoken continuously in Britain for over 1,500 years, predating English by centuries, and its literary tradition includes the medieval Mabinogion tales and the 6th-century poetry of Taliesin and Aneirin. The language features a distinctive system of initial consonant mutations, where the first letter of a word changes depending on grammatical context: 'cath' (cat) becomes 'gath' after the feminine article. Welsh spelling, despite appearances, is remarkably phonetic once the rules are learned, with digraphs like 'll' (a voiceless lateral fricative unique among European languages), 'dd' (voiced th), and 'ch' (as in Bach). The Welsh Language Act of 1993 established Welsh as co-official with English, and immersive Welsh-medium schools have produced a growing generation of fluent speakers. FreeReadText's Welsh TTS technology supports this remarkable language revitalization effort, providing pronunciation tools for learners, audio content for Welsh-medium education, and accessibility services for Wales's bilingual population.
