wicidelta-aromaneg

Dw i wedi dechrau fersiwn Gymraeg o gyfrif Twitter Wicidelta.

Mae gen ti ddewis!

O ran yr enwau yr unig wahaniaeth yw’r ‘c’ neu ‘k’ – Wicidelta neu Wikidelta.

Hefyd mae Wikimedia UK wedi fy ngwahodd i ymhelaethu am Wicidelta ac mae dwy fersiwn o’r blogiad newydd fynd yn fyw:

Diolch i Llywelyn2000 am ein cyflwyno.

Prin yw’r siaradwraig neu siaradwr Cymraeg sydd ddim yn ymddiddori mewn ieithoedd gwahanol dw i’n credu.

DIWEDDARIAD 9 Rhagfyr: newydd ychwanegu rheol sy’n atal erthyglau llai na 1000 nod er mwyn ceisio canfod mwy o’r ‘gorau’ o bob iaith. Fe oedd ’na ambell i erthygl rhy fach. Gawn ni weld pa gynnwys a ddaw. Fel o’n i’n dweud yn y blogiad mae ’na rheolau eraill hoffwn i ychwanegu.

Gwely angau yr iaith Romansh

Dyfyniad cofiadwy o’r New York Times trwy Languagehat (fy mhwyslais):

Depending on whom you talk to in the steep, alpine enclaves of Graubünden, otherwise known as Grisons, the easternmost wedge of the country, there is either strong support or bitter resistance to Romansh, the local language. “When people talk about the death of Romansh,” said Elisabeth Maranta, who for the last 18 years has run a Romansh bookshop, Il Palantin, which sells books in Romansh and in German, “then I say that there are days when I only sell books in Romansh.”

Yet Ms. Maranta herself illustrates the fragility of Romansh. A native of Germany, she came to Chur 38 years ago with her husband, but does not speak Romansh herself, which is hardly a liability since virtually all Romansh speakers also speak German. While she is an ardent champion of Romansh, she can be bleak about its future. Asked why most of the books in Romansh she sells are poetry, she muses: “When a patient is dying, he writes only poetry.”
