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.
