What begins with A in Welsh?

This is a bit of a trick question! There's no single word that definitively starts with "A" in Welsh.

Here's why:

* Welsh orthography: Welsh has a different alphabet than English. The letter "A" in English corresponds to the letter "A" in Welsh, but Welsh also has the letter "Y", which often acts as a vowel sound similar to "A".

* Sound changes: Many words that would start with "A" in English have undergone sound changes in Welsh, resulting in a different initial sound.

Examples:

* Apple: "Afal" in Welsh, pronounced "av-al".

* Animal: "Anifail" in Welsh, pronounced "an-ee-vyl".

So, while there's no direct "A" word, you could say that words beginning with "Y" (like "Ysgol" - school) can sometimes be considered as starting with a similar sound to "A".
