I tried writing  dysgu'r Gymraeg , because I remember having read somewhere that the Welsh language can be either Cymraeg  or y Gymraeg.
But my answer was not accepted. Am I mistaken?

You are correct, that wasn't in the answer list, it is now. Thanks for the comment.

      How did we get "Welsh" from "Cymraeg?"

      Welsh is the Anglo/Saxon word for foreigner.

      Cymraeg comes from 'Cymru' =land of fellow countrymen, the 'Cymry'

      So 'Cymraeg' is 'the language of the 'Cymry'

        It is hard for me to spell, do I just suffer though it all?
