Although most Welsh records are written in English, understanding some basic elements of the Welsh language can help you with your research. Do not, however, rely on a translation of a record made by using a dictionary. Get help from someone who knows the language. | Although most Welsh records are written in English, understanding some basic elements of the Welsh language can help you with your research.

Welsh is a member of the Brythonic branch of the Celtic languages.<br> | |||
Though the Welsh and English alphabets are very similar, each has some letters not used in the other. The letters q, v, and z are not used in the Welsh language and the letters j and k only occur in 'adopted' words. The following double letters are treated as a single letter in Welsh: ch, dd, ff, ll, ng, ph, rh, and th. These letters are part of the Welsh alphabet.<br> | |||
When using a Welsh dictionary or an index written in Welsh, use Welsh, not English, alphabetical order. | |||
