The
History of the
Welsh
Language
In the early part of the 1st millenium BCE a powerful
and brilliant society emerged in West Central Europe around the headwaters of
the River Danube - these people were the Celts. By the 5th century BC the
British Isles were Celtic with the existing native population being absorbed
into the new culture.
The Celtic language in the British Isles consisted of
two distinct groups; Giodelic (Gaelic or Q-Celtic) and Brythonic (British or
P-Celtic). Gaelic was spoken in Ireland, the Highlands and Islands of Scotland,
and the Isle of Man. The rest of Britain including Wales spoke Brythonic. With
the Roman Invasion in 43CE onwards, the Brythonic language survived alongside
latin, and some latin words were added to the language.
After the Roman withdrawal in the early 5th century CE,
Germanic tribes came across the North Sea to colonise Britain. These
groups (generally known as the
Anglo-Saxons) spoke a language that was the precursor of the English language,
and the Celts in South-Eastern Britain were absorbed into their culture. The
Celtic west resisted fiercely, but Anglo-Saxon victories at Dyrham near Bath in
577CE, and Chester in 616AD, isolated the Celts of Wales from the Celts of
South-West Britain and Cumbria respectively. Many Celts fled from Britain to
Brittany in France.
From then the Brythonic language developed seperately
in Wales, Cornwall, Brittany and Cumbria, and the Welsh language was born. The
Celtic language in Cumbria died out in the 14th century and insufficient
written records exsit to reconstruct it, but Welsh and Breton are still
official working languages, and Cornish having nearly died out in the 18th
century is now experiencing a revival.
Hanes
yr Iaith Gymraeg
Yn gynnar yn y mileniwm cyntaf CC fe gododd cymdeithas
nerthol a galluog yng Ngorllewin Canol Ewrop o gwmpas tarddiadau'r Afon Donaw -
rhain oedd y Celtiaid. Erbyn y 5ed ganrif CC roedd ynysoedd Prydain yn Geltaidd
hefo'r boblogaeth frodorol a oedd yno'n barod yn cael eu llyncu i fewn i'r
diwylliant newydd.
Roedd yr iaith Geltaidd ym Mhrydain yn cynnwys dau grwp
gwahanol; Goideleg (Gaeleg neu Q-Celteg) a Brythoneg (neu P-Celteg). Siaradwyd
Gaeleg yn yr Iwerddon, yn Ucheldiroedd ac Ynysoedd yr Alban, ac yn Ynys Manaw.
Roedd gweddill Prydain (gan gynnwys Cymru) yn siarad Brythoneg. Ar ôl i'r
Rhufeiniaid lanio'n 43 OC, fe barhaodd yr iaith Frythonaidd ochr yn ochr â
Lladin, ac fe gafodd rhai geiriau Lladin eu ychwanegu at yr iaith.
Wedi i'r Rhufeiniaid adael Prydain yn gynnar yn y 5ed
ganrif OC, fe ddaeth llwythau Almaenig ar draws Môr y Gogledd i wladychu
Prydain. Roedd y grwpiau hyn (a'u hadnabyddir yn gyffredinol fel y Saeson) yn
siarad iaith a fyddai'n datblygu i fewn i'r iaith Saesneg, a llyncwyd y
Celtiaid yn ne-ddwyrain Prydain i fewn i'w diwylliant. Fe wrthsefodd y Celtiaid
yn y gorllewin yn ffyrnig, ond fe dorrwyd Celtiaid Cymru i ffwrdd o'r Celtiaid
yn ne-orllewin Prydain ac yn Rheged (yn y gogledd-orllewin) gan
fuddugoliaethau'r Saeson yn Dyrham ger Caerfaddon yn 577 OC, ac yng Nghaer yn
616 OC. Fe ffôdd lawer o'r Celtiaid o Brydain i Lydaw yn Ffrainc.
Ar ôl hynny fe ddatblygodd yr iaith Frythonaidd ar
wahân yng Nghymru, Cernyw, Llydaw a Chumbria, ac fe ganwyd yr iaith Gymraeg.
Farwodd yr iaith Geltaidd allan yng Nghumbria yn y 14edd ganrif, ond siaredir
Cymraeg a Llydaweg yn eang, ac, wedi bron iawn a marw allan, mae Cernyweg nawr
yn gweld adfywiad.
