I need a chart of the mutations, with some basic notes so that I can find them quickly when I'm on the Internet. I've got them in grammar books, but if I want to remind myself of something then it will be useful to have a copy on the Internet.

A useful chart of the names and pronunciations of the Welsh alphabet HERE.

MUTATIONS (to be added to as I find time)
