Just a thought from one guy with absolutely no knowledge of Welsh:

Some of the controversy seems to revolve about the transcription of sounds 
like "y" into latin letters. But how long since the Latin alphabet has set 
standards in Wales?

I mean, would it be possible that someone introduced a different alphabet, 
and for example didn't care about the disctinction between "y" and "i"?

(And before you jump at me: I'm not saying the VM is Welsh! I'm asking if it 
could be...)

Cheers,
