Offering Professional Welsh Translations for Any Subject

Welsh is the de jure official language of Wales—a Celtic language entirely different from English. The Welsh language faced repression in the past, starting in the 16th century and continuing into the 20th century, and the stigmatization of Welsh particularly in schools led to a sharp decline. However, in modern times, the Welsh have pursued measures to reclaim their traditional language. The number of Welsh speakers is 850,000 and growing, with some schools operating almost entirely in Welsh.

Here at ProofreadingServices.com, we understand the importance of minority languages like Welsh. We support measures that promote the Welsh language and encourage translation into—and out of—the language. That’s why we’ve put together a skilled Welsh translation team, ready to serve businesspeople, scholars, creative content producers, and anyone else who requires high-quality Welsh translation services.

Welsh: A Unique Celtic Language

The Welsh are the indigenous inhabitants of Wales, originating from a period when Celtic languages dominated the British Isles. While Welsh is an Indo-European language, like English, it is only distantly related, with the similarities only identifiable by trained linguists. Welsh, like other Celtic languages, uses a VSO word order, putting the verb at the beginning of the sentence. In colloquial Welsh, auxiliaries are often used with verbs to express tense information, but verbal inflection is more common in literary Welsh.

Welsh divides words into two genders—masculine and feminine—but does not mark case. Plurals can be formed through a number of suffixes and mutations, exhibiting a high degree of irregularity. Perhaps Welsh’s most notable feature, though—one it shares with all Insular Celtic languages—is the grammaticalized word-initial consonant mutations. Each Welsh noun has three possible mutations, each of which is triggered through different grammatical processes. Welsh also inflects prepositions for person. The differences between Welsh and English—and even between colloquial and literary Welsh—abound, necessitating the expertise of experienced Welsh translators for a high-quality translation. That’s what our Welsh translation team is here for.
