Welsh English
This refers to the accents and dialects spoken in the country of Wales. The speech of this region is heavily influenced by the Welsh language, which remained more widely spoken in modern times than the other Celtic languages.
Features:
- Usually non-rhotic.
- English is generally modelled after Received Pronunciation or related accents, but with many holdovers from the Welsh language.
- Syllables tend to be very evenly stressed, and the prosody of the accent is often very “musical”.
- The letter r is often trilled or tapped.
- Some dialect words imported from the Welsh language.
