Personally I don't think that's a bad thing, language and culture are worth preserving.

They are worth preserving but the way they do it involves a sledgehammer
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Ain't that the truth

I think you all have made me even more curious to visit, next time I am in Great Britain.
Many Moon's ago, the closest I got to Wales was Bristol on the way to St. Ives. (ok, I about the man from St. Ives) near the most southern tip of England.

I tried to spell the pronunciation as I heard from this website
How to pronounce Bwlchnewydd, in Welsh | HowToPronounce.com[^]
Perhaps it's a little off as a computer generated pronunciation.
Thanx for the lesson.
I have always had an interest in Wales. So much history. Lots of famous folks, too.

I listened to Cornish and Breton speakers on you tube. They did sound similar to the welsh speaker.
Amazing how languages develop, blend and mature. These three languages are definitely not sounding like English but according to scholars they are related. Go figure.

That makes me worried there's a Welsh version of the Hatfields and the McCoys, but with far more interesting cussing going on.

Oh yes I'm sure @OriginalGriff knows the meaning of "mochyn bydyr". But it's slightly different to the North Wales translation.

I knew I was going to get punished for that word.

You opened the door, all I did was walk in.

That's why there is a pun is punish.
