The syntax of the Welsh language has much in common with the syntax of other Insular Celtic languages. It is, for example, heavily right-branching (including a verb–subject–object word order), and the verb for be (in Welsh, bod ) is crucial to constructing many different types of clauses .
Welsh grammar reflects the patterns of linguistic structure that permeate the use of the Welsh language. In linguistics grammar refers to the domains of the syntax , and morphology . The following articles contain more information on Welsh:

The soft mutation (Welsh: treiglad meddal) is by far the most common mutation in Welsh.

Native adjectives with one or two syllables usually receive the endings -ed "as/so" (preceded by the word cyn in a sentence, which causes a soft mutation except with ll and rh : cyn/mor daled â ...
Welsh morphology is the study of the internal structure of the words of the Welsh language and their systematic relationship within the language. This includes the principles by which Welsh words and morphemes arise, their form and derivation.

That arises as a result of a process usually involving the subject noun phrase being fronted. It has been suggested that the fronting has arisen from ...
