    10 Welsh Words Added to Oxford English Dictionary - 19th September 2024

    The Oxford English Dictionary contains more than 500,000 words, phrases and their meanings, from over 1000 years of English language. The dictionary is widely regarded as the accepted authority on the English language.

    The dictionary is updated four times a year, and in its 19th September 2024 update, it added more than 600 new words, including ten Welsh words. These Welsh words were added because of their use in everyday spoken and written English over a "reasonable period of time".
