There are some place name pronunciations here, although not just Monmouthshire - http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/livinginwales/ Kathy -----Original Message----- From: monmouthshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:monmouthshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lynda Ahmad Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2007 1:13 PM To: monmouthshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MON] Fw: Ioan Gruffud, pronunciation And isn't Machynlleth a lovely one to pronounce?! Does anyone know of a website where we can find out more about the pronounciation of place names in Monmouth? I studied in Wales (near Machynlleth) for two years, but I still find myself puzzling over some of the places my ancestors lived in Monmouth. (I did start to learn Welsh, but my tutor was sent to jail for damaging English language roadsigns.)
