The link to Math gets me to Mathematics, not the son of Mathonwy. This needs to be fixed.

Someone's fixed that so the link doesn't go to Mathematics anymore. There's now a page for Math (Mabinogion), but as of this writing it's still empty of content. Oska 10:28, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
The link now goes to the proper page, Math ap Mathonwy

[edit] Historical?

The article states the Mabinogion is based on "early medieval historical events." What exactly is meant by this? To say that there's anything historical about the Mabinogion, besides a few fictional versions of historical figures, seems a very odd claim. Toastedcheese 23:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I would like to translate this article into Chinese

I would like to translate this article into Chinese,Can I do that? --by k1234567890y in Chinese Wikipedia

yes, of course you can. Remember to add the link to the Chinese wikipedia entry to the English one --Nantonos 19:15, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Separated off the Four Branches

The article was unbalanced by the long (though excellent) description of one part, the Four Branches . I moved it to its own page, along with a warning that the summary gives away basically everything that happens.

[edit] How do you pronounce Mabinogion?

"ma-bin-OG-yon", more or less. --Nicknack009 09:16, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

So is that with a plosive /g/ or an affricate /dʒ/ or a fricative /ʒ/? I've always assumed the last of these, and wondered if I was quite wrong. It would be super if someone could put a proper IPA transcription into the article. --91.11.3.17 --Doric Loon (talk) 11:07, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
It's the plosive plosive /g/. I'll have a go at an IPA transcription. --Nicknack009 (talk) 21:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Ah, thanks. --Doric Loon (talk) 08:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Welsh Deities??"

It could be said that the only well-attested to instances of ANY known non-christian deities worshipped by the Welsh are those named in inscriptions on Romano-Celtic altars.

I would like to see some serious discussion on the merit of the nearly universal custom of elevating to god/goddesshood virtually any of the primary characters in the stories of the Welsh corpus. Earrach 3/26/07
