SHWMRAEG welsh language

Mae'r ymgyrch Siarad Shwmraeg wedi ysbrydoli  gan– ac yn cyfrannu at- y sgwrs ynghylch ein perthynas â'r iaith Gymraeg, gyda'r bwriad i ailddiffinio'r ffordd anffurfiol y mae pobl ddwyieithog yn defnyddio eu hieithoedd: nid 'Wenglish' (sy'n aml yn awgrymu diogi neu israddoldeb), ond fel 'Shwmraeg'- y mae Catrin Doyle yn diffinio fel 'ffordd mae pobl bi-ling yn defnyddio'u hiaith mewn ffordd naturiol, sy'n groesawgar a hygyrch yn ogystal.' 

Siarad Shwmraeg is a campaign devised from and contributing to the conversation around our collective relationship to the Welsh language, aiming to highlight and redefine the informal way bilingual people use their two languages: not as ‘Wenglish’ (which often suggests laziness or an inferiority), but in ‘Shwmraeg’ which Catrin Doyle defines as 'the relaxed way that people who are bi-ling use their languages, which is welcoming & accessible in its nature'.

Mae’r print chwareus yma yn mynegi a dathlu y sawl safbwynt a pherthynas sydd gan bob un ohonom gyda'r iaith Gymraeg, gan groesawu ac ysbrydoli eraill i ddefnyddio’r iaith - boed fel Ddysgwr, yn Wenglish neu yn Shwmraeg! Creuodd y print i gofnodi penllanw’r daith ymgysylltu gydag artistiaid Pontypridd yn 2023-24, fel rhan o’r ymgyrch Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru Llais y Lle. 

A playful, fun-filled print that was developed to express the artist’s passion for sharing the Welsh language, inviting and inspiring others to use the language- as Learners, in Wenglish or in Shwmraeg! The print was created as part of the journey of discovery connecting with artists from across Pontypridd in 2023-24, as part of Arts Council Wales’ Llais y Lle project.
