Bywyd Gwerin Folklife1/3/2020 ! Dydd Gŵyl Dewi hapus iawn!
To start: Wales pages from FOLKLIFE WEST print magazine, including Festivals & Workshops; Folklife Members online Directory - Wales pages. Oddi wrth Bywyd Gwerin, grŵp nid-er-elw o wirfoddolwr. From Folklife, a not-for-profit volunteer grou.p Later, we'll add articles of Welsh interest from our pages - and - anything we can do to promote Welsh folk traditions. Polisi Iaith. Rhestriadau ar-lein am ddim ac erthyglau i hybu gwybodaeth am draddodiadau gwerin iaith Gymraeg. Nid yw’r golygyddion yn siaradwyr Cymraeg rhugl, rydym yn croesawu gwirfoddolwyr i’n helpu i gyfieithu rhestriadau, penawdau ac ati. Fel arwydd o’n gwerthfawrogiad byddwn yn rhoi aelodaeth Bywyd Gwerin am ddim (FW trwy’r post gan gynnwys eich newyddion a’ch rhestriadau). Crëwyd y wefan hon gan Sam (o Ddyffryn Clwyd yn wreiddiol) ac Eleanor (o’r UDA yn wreiddiol), a symudodd o Fangor i Loegr. Mae’r ddau wedi golygu cylchgronau a chyfeiriaduron gwerin ers dros 30 o flynyddoedd, nhw sy’n sybsideiddio Bywyd Gwerin a’r wefan hon. Yn 2013, astudiodd y ddau gyrsiau i ddysgwyr Cymraeg yn Nant Gwrtheyrn.
