Thanks for the "ping". It's always interesting to get more linguistic background. Written Welsh that is recognizable by modern speakers dates back to 396 AD. A switch to the latin alphabets probably occurred in that time frame. You still see some of the older alphabet symbols on headstones and various monuments around the castle in Aberystwyth. Below is a modern PC font to print the ancient symbols. link
