Rhondda Valley English Compared to Standard Southern British English, Contextualised Through Welsh
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Rhondda Valley English is the “Wenglish” spoken in the valleys of Powys and Glamorgan, Wales. It is recognised for its “sing-song” intonation and use of Welsh loanwords. By comparing its phonological inventory and patterns to Standard Southern British English, and contextualising these differences with Welsh phonotactics, this essay aims to shed light on the dialect’s roots.
