years is a long time – it’s more than a generation,” says Penderyn CEO Stephen Davies. “It’s going to be an exciting winter for Wales, and it’s only fitting we pay tribute to the incredible work the national side has put in to get this far. Fingers crossed, they’ll take it all the way – we’re behind them!” A chapter on the history of the song and its context appears in Siôn Jobbins's book The Phenomenon of Welshness, or 'How many aircraft carriers would an independent Wales need?' . [29] A long sixty-four years have passed since then, and despite near misses in 1978, 1986 and 1994, Wales have successfully qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2022. My colleagues and I at Bangor University recorded conversations between Welsh-English bilingual participants and analysed their speech for code-switching. We found that, although switching was found in almost everyone’s speech, the grammar of the sentences that contained code-switching was almost always Welsh. Language patterns Since then, it has grown in popularity, with male voice choirs giving stunning renditions of the spine-tingling tune and the man himself stunning fans in Doha by turning up to a hotel and leading a sing-along with supporters who made the long journey to Qatar. You can watch that amazing moment here.

The excitement amongst the team and The Red Wall is already at high levels, as we continue to move closer to the World Cup. With the launch of this special edition whisky, which not only recognises the team’s achievements so far but also recognises the vital role Wales supporters play in the success of our national team, it’s clear to see the support the team have going into this World Cup” explained Ian Davis, Chief Commercial and Engagement Officer, Football Association of Wales. In Yma o Hyd, Iwan uses the still common knowledge of Macsen to show that the memory and culture of the Ancient Britons is still here, with the Welsh language being a Brythonic language that the ancient Britons would have spoken. [10] An aspect of the influence of English on Welsh grammar that I study is how people use multiple languages in the same conversation. In linguistics, this is called code-switching. Here are two examples from the casual speech of Welsh-English bilinguals: In 2022, a poll found that 35% of the people of Wales knew some of the words to Yma o Hyd. [28] Use in media [ edit ] Yma o Hyd represents so much about the Welsh spirit – and while you can’t contain it all in one bottle alone, Penderyn intends to continue raising the flag all over the world. And, it’s true what Dafydd Iwan says – we will weather storms and bad times – no matter what life may bring, Wales is still here, still going strong, and we’ll continue to put our heritage on the map.”
The official Wales song for the FIFA Men’s World Cup 2022 is “ Yma o Hyd” (“Still here”), a protest song first released by Dafydd Iwan and Ar Lôg in 1983. Its unashamedly patriotic verses describe the adversity that Welsh people have endured over the centuries, including: The song, as Josh Millar, a lifelong football fan and Welsh speaker who has “Yma o Hyd” tattooed on his biceps, points out “is very simple. Non-Welsh speakers can grasp the meaning and pronunciation far more easily than the national anthem.” Its catchiness was proved again in January 2020, when the pro-independence campaign YesCymru managed to get Yma o Hyd to the top of the iTunes UK chart. Comedian, broadcaster and avid Welsh football fan Elis James, from Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, doesn’t remember a time before the song existed. He was at the Austria semi-final. To his surprise, “the entire crowd sang it. And it just felt like this tremendous symbol for how the Welsh language is now seen by Welsh people.”

The Red Wall of football fans passionately cheered the team through the qualifiers, bonding under the slogan – #TogetherStronger – and adopting YMA O HYD as their patriotic anthem, with its poetry and its epic chorus. The song was then adopted as a motivating anthem by the Wales players.
