Help translating to Cymraeg
Okay, I know it's not Gaelic, but I need help translating a phrase into Welsh. "My heart, mind, and life" is to be embroidered onto a hand-fasting cloth for my wedding. Don't want to use on-line translators because I want it to be right.

I could do this but to be completely sure I have texted my friend, a Professor of Welsh so it can be exactly right.
Will let you know reply asap.

OK here is his reply:
"Fy nghalon, fy meddwl a'm bywyd"
But he adds:
"mind" is actually not easy. "Bryd" = "mind, thought intent", "meddwl" is to do with thinking processes.
So you will need to decide what you mean by "mind".
If you go for "bryd" it will need to read "fy mryd" due to mutation.

Reason: corrected typo

Beautiful! Thank you so much! Now I just have to work out the pronunciation...

OK here are the phonetics:
Vung hallon, vuh methool (hard th as in the, that, this) am buhwid
(or if the alternative used to meddwl - Vum Reed)
Hope this helps.

I know hardly anything about Welsh, but "Fy nhgalon" just doesn't look right to me. Shouldn't it be "Fy nghalon"?

You should be a politician the way you insert your opinion but take no responsibility!

Well spotted was a typo with me typing a transposition in error!
Yes indeed it is nghalon not nhgalon! Must proof read my own posts better!
But the phonetics are still correct!

Actually, the closest to a vocation I have at the moment is linguist, and I take full responsibility for my familiarity with the rules of orthography, even of languages with which I am only vaguely familiar. However, perhaps I should have admitted that I looked up "fy nhgalon" and "fy nghalon" on Google to see how many hits I got, just to be sure.

Mutations can be fun though Morris!
And C is one of the easier ones!
Wales = Cymru
to Wales = i Gymru
in Wales - yn Nghymru
etc etc!
