In [[Welsh-language]] [[poetry]], '''''cynghanedd''''' ({{IPA|cy|kəŋˈhaneð}}, literally "[[harmony]]") is the basic concept of sound-arrangement within one line, using [[Stress (linguistics)|stress]], [[alliteration]] and [[rhyme]]. The various forms of ''cynghanedd'' show up in the definitions of all formal Welsh [[Verse (poetry)|verse]] forms, such as the ''[[awdl]]'' and ''[[cerdd dafod]]''. Though of ancient origin, ''cynghanedd'' and variations of it are still used today by many Welsh-language poets. A number of poets have experimented with using ''cynghanedd'' in English-language verse, for instance [[Gerard Manley Hopkins]]. Some of [[Dylan Thomas]]'s work is also influenced by ''cynghanedd''.
