This may seem unimportant for someone living in Pennsylvania, but it's actually significant hereabouts because a lot of place/street names incorporate the sound.
Oh I think it is rather wonderful that you have Welsh place names but the "wet l" is hard - rather like a cat sneezing I think... however, having observed how the French place names in the States are pronounced - I am surprised that the Welsh ones have retained a more authentic pronunciation.
