Description

Building on the knowledge acquired by following Beginners' Middle Welsh (or equivalent elsewhere), the unit seeks to give students further insights about Middle Welsh. The main focus remains on the grammar of the language, as well as its phonology and orthography; an outline is provided of the history of Welsh.
