Traditionally there are perceived to be two main varieties of Welsh - northern and southern. Within this broad division, there are two northern varieties and two southern. Y Wyndodeg / the language of Gwynedd, an Y Bowyseg / the language of Powys in the old kingdom of Powys, Y Ddyfedeg / the language od Dyfed in the south-west, and Y Wenhwyseg / the language of Gwent in Gwent and Morgannwg. It remains a useful rough division of the country’s dialect areas.

Alan R. Thomas (1973) identified three basic dialects - a northern, a midland and a southern, each with western and eastern varieties
