Whether you’re learning Welsh for the first time or reconnecting with your roots, having a quick-reference table can be a lifesaver.

In this post, we’ve compiled some of the most useful Welsh words and phrases—perfect for beginners, and anyone who simply wants to sprinkle a little Cymraeg into daily life.

#1.

I created this small table which shows some of the more commonly used words in French and Cymraeg which are most similar.

Though Cymraeg and French belong to different language trees, there does remain some Latin influences in Cymraeg and this is the cause of these similar words.

#2.

Here’s another Brythonic language table. I will always promote Cymraeg, Kernowek and Brezhoneg where possible.

Please let me know if any corrections are required!

#3.

Here’s a fresh Brythonic language table I just finished making with some more word similarities.

#4.

Here’s another Brythonic language (Welsh, Breton and Cornish) comparison table with the English translation provided for each. I hope you enjoy!

#5.

Here’s a table I made on the topic of colours in each of Cymraeg (Welsh), Bretoned (Breton) and Kernowek (Cornish) – the three remaining Brythonic languages.

#6.

Here’s a fresh Welsh/Spanish language table which looks at some similar words.

Fun fact: I speak Spanish as a second language and found this table pretty fun to make.

#7.

For this one, I decided to put together a new Brythonic language table featuring just a few Easter-themed words.

Once again, you can see some of the similarities between these three related languages.

#8.

This one looks at some words which are similar in Cymraeg and Gaeilge.

Though the two languages are from different Celtic trees, they do still have some crossover words, just fewer than Cymraeg does with Kernowek (Cornish) and Brezhoneg (Breton) and Gaelige has with Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) and Gaelg (Manx).

#9.

Though we are a Welsh history page, I do love including random bits of information about our Bretoned (Breton) and Kernowyon (Cornish) cousins.

Here’s a table I made which includes 1-10 in each of the three (Cymraeg, Kernowek and Brezhoneg) languages.
