(not really if anyone from Harrogate without a sense of humour i.e. everyone in Harrogate, is reading).

If they are also off then it may be more phonetic. Remember the French alphabet is different, I can still remember the song. An interesting factoid on this subject is that there is actually a special Welsh language edition of Scrabble, that even has amongst others an LL square, suggesting that things like that are somehow seen as different letters.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-24208249940909158842016-08-21T13:42:42.962+01:002016-08-21T13:42:42.962+01:00The whole fact that "dd" is pronounced &...The whole fact that "dd" is pronounced "th" just shows how unphoenetical (if that is a word) Welsh is. My Granddad for years (even beyond his death) is castigated for pronouncing Porthmadog as Porthmadog instead of Port Madoc. It's all wrong I tell thee! If Clun was in Wales, I bet it'd be spelt Llun.

You will find most of your pubs in Montgomeryshire.<br /><br />I suspect I agree with the local. I have long thought that Welsh is probably quite an easy language to learn.
