   • [2023, Jack Pulman-Slater, Traethawd a gyflwynir i fodloni’n rhannol ofynion gradd‎^[1], page 23:

     […] ni ddefnyddir y term 'acen' gan fod y term hwnnw yn gallu cyfeirio at nodwedd prosodig ffonolegol ieithoedd megis y Swedeg a'r Siapaneg sy'n gwahaniaethu parau minimol (minimal pairs)

     […] not used is the term “accent” as that term can refer to a phonological prosodic feature of languages such as Swedish or Japanese that distinguish minimal pairs]
