According to Hebert Beesly a linguistics and history professor from the University of Washington, the Welsh language had diverged in to a separate language by at latest, 1550 A.D. Contents Surnames Alphabet Further reading references Surnames Welsh-derived surnames are common in the United States. The Welsh name Jones is in fact the fourth commonest surname in the U. S. ; within the hundred commonest surnames, the Welsh names Evans, Edward, Morgan, and Jenkins rank 48th, 49th, 57th, and 83rd respectively. Names beginning with a double L, such as Lloyd and Llewellyn are almost certain to be Welsh, as is Floyd (the "Fl" being an attempt to imitate the sound of the Welsh double-L. Also common are surnames with an initial "p" such as Prichard, Powell, and Pugh, which comes from the Welsh ap , meaning "son of." Alphabet Although it should be noted that the Welsh Alphabet uses the same characters as English (indeed both are examples of the Latin Alphabet) direct comparisons cannot always be made between the two. Welsh developed as an oral language with no corresponding written language and so, when it did develop a written language, it was developed in the written alphabet of the time, the Latin Alphabet. Of principle differences it should be noted that unlike English, Welsh has seven vowels, comprising of A, E, I, O, U, W and Y (occasionally h) . In addition, certain sounds in Welsh are represented in the Latin Alphabet by two characters but are considered to be only one letter. In truth this makes little practical difference in everday use but is of use in such things as crosswords (where, for instance, the letter
