[bednobs]

how do you pronounce "Rhosneigr"

[sherrardk]

I'm Welsh and I have no idea - doesn't Welshyorkie live on/near Anglesey? He would know how to say it.

[Brenden]

Ros-niger

[bednobs]

we went there, and the closest i could come was ross-knee-ger although i am convinced that cannot be right

[Robinia]

Ross-Ny-Guh...taken from here...

[rowanwitch]

rhose-ny-ger? Redman will know....

[bednobs]

i wasn't too far off then

[murraymints]

wot does it mean ??

[bednobs]

it's a place in anglesey

[rowanwitch]

Go to Menai bridge or Holyhead...easier to pronounce... or there's always Llanfairpwllgwyngyll-gogerychwyrndrobwll-llan
tysilio-gogogoch,

[bednobs]

we were staying there rowan and we just referred to it as llanfair p.g.

[rowanwitch]

as do the locals.. Moelfre is my favourite place on the island although Church island is wonderfully peaceful especially late evenings when the stars are coming out

You pronounce it Rhoss - nye - ger.

[welshlibranr]

Horsehsoes is quite right, that's the way to pronounce it, it's a lovely place!...........

[horseshoes]

Absolutely beautiful beach, as are many around North West Wales.

[welshlibranr]

horseshoes, yes it's stunning there, haven't been for a few years now, but have spent many a happy day on that beach!........and many others in Angelsey too!......

[redman41]

Rhos = Marsh or Moor
Neigr = Possibly a Person who owned the Land many decades ago, so Rhosneigr is possibly Moor owned by Neigr ! Just a guess really.
Maybe Neigr is a variation of this person's proper name ?
