Hiya,

I’ve just noticed that Aneurin is down as a-NAY-rin when it should be a-NIE-rin.

Interesting, thanks! I will update to show this pronunciation.

There is a note on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Welsh

Quote[1] The diphthongs that were historically [əi, əɨ] now begin with a more front vowel [ɛ ~ e] for most speakers. Transcription styles in sources vary but are most often transcribed with [ɛi, ɛɨ] on Wikipedia.

(note that /əi/ corresponds to IE and /ɛi/ corresponds to AY in this website's simple pronunciation guide)

Also compare https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Aneurin

Also for Mike: my commment on the Aneurin post in Opinions quotes Amphelise's wikipedia entry and includes some eye-popping Welsh phonetics.
