Talk:Mabinogion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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
