1031:' which refers to the varieties of English spoken in Wales and not to the Welsh language. However, I would like to point out that Welsh English does contain loanwords from the Welsh language and some speakers code switch by using both English and Welsh words in the same sentence although this is colloquial rather than formal. Although more than 50% of respondents in Gwynedd and Ceridigion claimed to be able to speak Welsh in the last census both counties have their share of native English-speakers especially in the coastal resorts where some of the rivers in question meet the sea. Below I have provided the video by Natural Resources Wales with the use of the word 'Afon' about three minutes in. 983:, for example, on Wicipedia Cymraeg). Certainly for the more widely known rivers in Wales I would think it's more appropriate on the English language Knowledge (XXG) to call them rivers. As for the smaller tributaries, it's probably not worth working up a sweat changing them, but I don't know at the moment at what point a Welsh river becomes "widely known". The situation is complicated by the fact Welsh is an official language in the UK, so Ordnance Survey will not surprisingly also give the Welsh translation of rivers in Wales. Citing Ordnance Survey as proof that Welsh name/translation is commonly known by monoglot English speakers, is a weak argument in my opinion. 871:
been almost no such weighing in by others. With two minor exceptions, what has taken place is actually a dialogue between two editors.

I started this Rfc in response to confusion over whether to use 'River' or 'Afon' in an article about a river in Wales, in recent move discussions I was involved in, in the absence of a guideline I know of. This page seemed the best place to suggest such a guideline. I stand by my decision to start
