Y Treiglad Llaes • The Aspirate Mutation

Spelling & Pronunciation Basics
Pronunciation Tips
Consonant Mutations
Verb and Subject Order in Welsh

This one's cake. It only affects three consonants, the most "basic" once, the voiceless stops /p/, /t/, and /k/. In all cases, airflow is added. This has the effect of turning /p/ into an /f/, /t/ into a voiceless th- sound like you'd find in front of the word "think," and /k/ into the "ch" sound you find at the end of the word "loch."

Where does the Aspirate Mutation occur?

It only really occurs in three places, only one of which is all that common:

  1. After the possessive pronoun "her,"
  2. After the words "with" and "and," and
  3. To mark the negative of an inflected verb, which is sort of dropping by the wayside, so don't lose sleep over it.
