Pwysigrwydd enwau lleoedd Cymraeg yn un o themau’r drafodaeth “Pam achub iaith?” yng nghwmni Dr Owain Lewis a Dr Huw Williams ym Mhabell Cymdeithasau 2 heddiw.

Dr Owain Lewis sy’n trafod yr iaith.

Dw i'n trio deall yr ymgyrch i ddileu enwau Saesneg hanesyddol yng Nghymru. Wi'n deall cael gwared ar gamsillafu (Aberdare / Aberdâr ac ati) ond beth yw rhesymeg dileu Fishguard neu Swansea neu Usk? <1 o 2>
