Neges o’r prif swyddfa: ar un adeg roedd fy mlog yn Saesneg pan o’n i’n ceisio gwella fy sgiliau Cymraeg. Felly mae’r blogiad hwn dim ond ar gael yn English – achos mae’n hen.

This is a fascinating debate. On the one hand, isn’t it just pointless nostalgia to hoard old languages? On the other, English has always reintroduced and adapted old words, or drawn from new sources. It’s one of the things that’s made it so varied and fascinating.
I’d tend towards the latter argument myself. I think our global cultural history, if such a thing exists, would be greatly impoverished by the loss of the languages that helped to shape it.
The video sadly didn’t work for me, probably the flash player being stupid again.
