Nodyn: Mae data ar y Gymraeg cyn gyfnod y cyfrifiad yn bodoli mewn archifdai megis yr eglwys a ffynonellau tebyg. Dyma ffynhonnell W.T.R. Pryce: yr hyn a nodwyd gan glerigwyr y gwahanol gyfnodau am iaith aelodau eu heglwysi. O'r wybodaeth honno, creodd Pryce bedwar map ar gyfer y blynyddoedd: 1750, 1800, 1850 a 1900, gan ddangos dosbarthiad y siaradwyr Cymraeg fel iaith bob dydd, ardaloedd a oedd yn ddwyieithog ac ardaloedd uniaith Saesneg.

Defnyddiodd Pryce symbolau pwynt i ddangos ei ddata parthed yr iaith o fewn yr eglwysi plwy. Rhag gor-gymhlethu'r mapiau, dydw i heb wneud hynny. Yn hytrach dw i wedi canolbwyntio'n unig ar sut roedd y sefyllfa ieithyddol yn lledaenu.

Mae fy mapiau i, felly, wedi eu sefydlu ar fapiau Pryce, ac ailgrgraffiadau o'i fapiau. Drwy gymharu'r rhain, roedd yn bosib gwiro fy mapiau i. Blociau o lwyd a du oedd gan Pryce, a'r symbolau pwynt - sy'n gwneud y weithred o'u dadansoddi nhw yn eitha anodd, yn enwedig gan bobl nad ydynt wedi arfer gyda'r pwnc, data neu fapiau! Oherwydd hyn, penderfynais ddefnyddio lliw. I sicrhau fod y lleoliadau'n gywir defnyddiais feddalwedd gartograffig megis Google Maps, Open Street Map a Bing Maps.

Note: Pre-census data on the Welsh language exists in archives such as the church and similar sources. This is the source of W.T.R. Pryce: what the clergy of the different periods noted about the language of their church members. From that information, Pryce created four maps for the years: 1750, 1800, 1850 and 1900, showing the distribution of Welsh speakers as a daily language, bilingual areas and English only areas.

Pryce also used point symbols to show his data regarding the language within the parish churches. I haven’t, as to not over complicate the maps. Instead I have focused only on how the language situation was spreading.
