The following is a list of Welsh mountains with their pronunciations, this is to help hillwalkers who don’t have a good understanding of the Welsh language. Please excuse any mistakes and feel free to notify me of corrections and additions. Please note, as with all languages there are some local variations in pronunciation, so please do not consider this as a perfect guide.
• Upper case is used to show emphasis. When it is all in upper case, the name is pronounced with an even emphasis.
