Welsh Language Board

Willkommen zur Website der Walisischen Sprachenbehörde. Sie enthält nützliche und interessante Informationen über Wales, die walisische Sprache und die Arbeit der Behörde innerhalb und außerhalb von Wales.

Die Behörde ist eine rechtliche Organisation, die 1993 aufgrund des Gesetzes über die walisischen Sprache eingerichtet wurde. Ihre Aufgabe ist der Einsatz und die Förderung der walisischen Sprache. Auf dieser Website wird gezeigt, wie das durchgeführt wird. Sie zeigt auch, wie Sie als Einzelperson, Firma oder Organisation mit der Sprache einen zweisprachigen Dienst anbieten können.

Es ist ganz normal, mehr als eine Sprache zu beherrschen. Über 60 % der Weltbevölkerung ist zweisprachig. Wenn Sie Walisisch lernen möchten, Ihre Kinder walisisch erziehen möchten, wenn Sie in der Schule oder Hochschule an einem Projekt über die Sprache arbeiten oder wenn Sie einfach mehr über Wales und Zweisprachigkeit lernen möchten, dann finden Sie auf dieser Website eine Antwort.

Holywell (W3)

...
Winefride - the Welsh Lazarus - went down into death and returned to life through a special mercy of God. For Christians, their baptism paralleled this experience. And, like Winefride going down to death and rising to life, and like the Christian entering the waters of baptism and coming forth to spiritual wholeness, the sick pilgrim to Holywell went down into the waters of the Well and came out restored to health. Symbolically imitating Winefride, renewing their own baptisms, and incorporating themselves into Christ, all devout pilgrims to Holywell have experienced their pilgrimage as a profound symbol of their whole spiritual life.

Un voyage aux Pays de Galles

Après avoir visité le Pays de Galles, vous comprendrez pourquoi la population défend une telle culture. Les Gallois sont conscients qu'ils doivent protéger leur nation afin de la faire avancer dans l'avenir. Cela se fait d'abord sentir à travers leur langue qu'ils sont si fiers de pratiquer. Le gallois est peut-être la seule langue celtique qui traversera le XXIème siècle. A travers les monuments et les musées vous découvrirez la richesse de cette culture.

LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIOGOGOGOCH, Isle of Anglesey

...
The long name translates to mean "St Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St Tysilio near the red cave." It was named this in 1880, with the hope that the length of the name would draw tourists.
...

Impossible de trouver en Europe une ville dont le nom dépasserait celui de cette ravissante commune du Pays de Galles, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch". Oui, vous pouvez essayer de le prononcer, il y a même un concours sur le site de la ville ! Si, à l'origine, la ville avait un nom légèrement plus court, celui-ci a été allongé au XIXème siècle afin que les voyageurs en trains aient envie de s'y arrêter. Ce nom, totalement artificiel, signifie en gallois : "l'église de sainte Marie dans le creux du noisetier blanc près d'un tourbillon rapide et l'église de saint Tysilio près de la grotte rouge". Pour plus de facilité, la ville est surnommée Llanfair PG. Très touristique, elle comporte des passages obligés comme la gare, la colonne du Marquis d'Anglesey ou encore l'ancien péage. © Bob Jones / Flicker

The Welsh Language

Welsh is a Celtic language, closely related to Cornish and Breton. The Welsh we speak today is directly descended from the language of the sixth century, and is one of Europe’s oldest living languages.

Welsh is spoken widely throughout the country and is the first language in many parts of the north and west. National TV and radio stations broadcast in Welsh, road signs are written in Welsh and English, there are Welsh medium schools, books, magazines newspapers and websites.

It’s called "Cymraeg" in Welsh, and it’s a language with entirely regular and phonetic spelling. Although you wouldn’t necessarily know it to look at a word like Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

But most other Welsh words are a lot shorter, and once you know the rules, you can learn to read and pronounce Welsh fairly easily.

Tense and Aspect in Informal Welsh
2010 | Hardcover | RRP Euro [D] 129.95 / for USA, Canada, Mexico US$ 182.00. * ISBN 978-3-11-022796-3 Reihe: Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs [TiLSM] 223

Produktinfo
The book provides a descriptive account of the semantics of three grammatical areas in informal Welsh: inflections of finite verbs, perfect aspect, and progressive aspect. The analyses distinguish context-independent primary meanings from other meanings which are due to implications and contextual effects.

The inflections convey factuality, tense, (morphological) aspect, and habituality, but the inflections and their meanings are differently distributed over different sorts of verbs. The analysis of factuality outlines different sorts of counterfactual situations, and discusses whether counterfactual meaning can best be accounted for in terms of true statements in imagined possible worlds or in terms of false statements in the actual world. The analysis of tense argues that it conveys evaluation time and not situation time, which can be different to evaluation time, and that tense is not a collection of simple labels like 'past' or 'present' but is a combination of two times, a deictic reference time and a relative evaluation time, which organize the tenses as a system. Morphological aspect is discussed in terms of perfective and imperfective meanings. Habituality is a property of situations which can be described by all inflections but the study shows that bod 'be' alone has specialized forms to convey habituality.

The discussion of the perfect aspect considers the appropriateness of anterior time, retrospective view, and current relevance to account for its meaning. The author argues that the progressive aspect conveys a durative view and the non-progressive a non-durative view, and shows that the progressive can describe situations which are described by the non-progressive in other languages. The study also considers whether other expressions can be aspect markers.

The book shows that the primary meanings of the three grammatical areas are subject to various constraints.

I Never Knew That About Wales

Kurzbeschreibung
Take a spellbinding journey around Wales to discover the tales buried deep in the country’s history. Visit the thirteen traditional Welsh counties and unearth the hidden gems that they each hold. This book seeks out Wales heritage, monuments, memories and secrets.

Synopsis
Packed full of legends, firsts, birthplaces, inventions and adventures, "I Never Knew That About Wales" visits the thirteen traditional Welsh counties and unearths the hidden gems that they each hold. Discover where history and legends happened; where people, ideas and inventions began; where dreams took flight; where famous figures were born and now rest. A glittering pantheon of writers and artists, thinkers and inventors, heroes and villains have lived and toiled in this small country. Remarkable events, noble (and dastardly) deeds and exciting adventures have all taken place with Wales as their backdrop. This book seeks out their heritage, their monuments, their memories and their secrets. You'll be able to visit Britain's smallest city, St David's with its glorious 12th-century cathedral slumbering in a sleepy hollow near the sea. Explore Britain's greatest collection of castles from the first stone fortress at Chepstow to Britain's finest concentric castle at Beaumaris and the magnificent Caernarvon, birthplace of the first Prince of Wales.
