Ten new Welsh additions to the English dictionary

Ten new Welsh terms have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary, including the phrase for cheers.

Iechyd da - which means good health and is said before having a drink - is included as part of the “deep-rooted influence” on English spoken in Wales, Oxford Languages said.

The BBC's Harriet Horgan shared her pronunciation of some of the new words and expressions.

The Oxford English Dictionary has more than 500,000 entries and is updated four times a year.
