Welsh character Rhiannon introduced to Chinese game Reverse: 1999

Rhiannon was voiced by Rebecca Wang, a trilingual Asian-American voice actress, for the dialogue in the game.

She initially had doubts about playing the character as she had “no familiarity” with the Welsh language, but was convinced by the studio after being told they would only be adopting the Welsh “here and there” to appeal to a global audience.

“I quickly realised the Welsh language loves their Ws as vowels. I would have to learn how to pronounce these words.

“There’s some that requires some throatiness, like bechan for example, which is a term of endearment, meaning little one.”

Rebecca said it was a “fascinating” learning process because “they’re English letters that don’t abide by English rules”.

A self-confessed lover of languages, she used Tik Toks, YouTube videos and a dialect coach to help her with these words, describing it as a “fun process”.

Rebecca said her experience has peaked her interest in Wales and she would like to plan a trip in the near future.
