Welsh people have had their say on a map that claims to show the different dialects of the UK. But, as many pointed out on social media, there were a lot of things wrong with it.

The Map of British English Dialects by Starkey Comics claims to have "spent the last few years pooling together every study, survey, map and database I can find, and then subjecting my image to several rounds of peer feedback" in creating the map. They added that the "end result is an image which is, to my knowledge, the most detailed map of British dialects ever made".

But the creator of the map also acknowledges that it is still "very much unfinished" and that it "always will be". It also acknowledges that the map is "wrong", for multiple reasons, including that there is no precise definition of "dialect", borders between dialects are "rarely hard lines", and that some dialects are not geographically specific at all.

For Wales, the map has been broken down to 10 categories. They are 'North Wales', 'Mid Wales', 'West Wales', 'South Pembrokeshire ', ' Swansea ', 'Valleys', 'south Wales', ' Newport ', ' Barry ' and ' Cardiff '. Many people have had their say on the map, including those suggesting that its Wales' breakdown has left a lot to be desired.

A few pointed out that the broadness of the Welsh breakdown ignored the fact that many areas within the north Wales, mid Wales, west Wales and other categories had vastly different dialects and accents to each other. Writing on X, one user wrote: "Haha as if someone from Welshpool has the same accent as someone in Holyhead." Another added: "Pontypool/ Abergavenny/ Chepstow. You know….THAT accent".

Another one responded with: "And Barry has its own dialect but Caernarfon doesn't?". While another posted: "They've clearly never been to Machynlleth".

One described the map as "nonsense" and added: "Our accents can vary every 20 miles". But one X user seemed to be pleased with the map's findings, and said:" I am happy the Barry specific accent finally has some respect though".

Another posted: "As if someone from Rhayadr had the same accent as someone from Aberystwyth." One suggested that the map overall needed more work and said: "I’m afraid that it’s inaccurate across the whole map. You can pick any area and dialects will vary significantly. It’s just really poor."
