  • Owain Owain (11 December 1929 – 19 December 1993) was a Welsh novelist, short-story writer and poet. He also founded Tafod y Ddraig (The Dragon's Tongue), which became the Welsh Language Society's main voice from its birth in the 1960s to the present day. Having worked as a nuclear scientist in Windscale for a few years, he returned home to Wales in 1956 with his wife Eira, and settled down in Bangor to raise a family of four children, one of whom is Robin Llwyd ab Owain. He was a member of Mensa International, and created new protests for the Welsh Language Society as the secretary of the first branch, located at Bangor. Owain also sketched the society's logo (a red dragon's tongue) which continues to be their badge and logo. This early sketch can be seen at the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth and on his official website (see below). Leading politician Dafydd Iwan says on his website, "He inspired my generation and laid down strong foundations on which the Welsh Language Society was built." His science fiction book entitled Y Dydd Olaf ("The Last Day") was described by the Welsh literary critic Pennar Davies in the book's preface: "Nothing like this book has been seen before either in our language or in any other language. We should rejoice that such brilliance exists in Welsh writing." (en)
  • Scríbhneoir gearrscéalta agus file Breatnach ab ea Owain Owain (11 Nollaig, 1929 - Nollaig, 1993). Ceann de bhunaitheoirí Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (Cumainn na Breatnaise) ab ea é. Bhunaigh sé an iris Tafod y Ddraig a bhí mar phríomh-ghuth ag Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (Cumainn na Breatnaise) óna mbreith sna 1960í go dtí an lá atá inniu ann agus bhí sé ina chéad eagarthóir uirthi. Ba pholaiteoir freisin é Owain a shainmhínigh an teanga agus an troid ar son na teangan i gcomhthéacs domhanda. Chruthaigh sé an choincheap go raibh 'maoin na héagsúlachta' (Cyfoeth yr Amrywiaeth) sa Bhreatnais agus scríobh sé go forleathan faoi ilghnéitheachta na teangan agus agus in aghaidh an 'mhúnla liath' (y llwydni llwyd) agus na 'Íomhá Móire' (Ddelwedd Fawr). Thug sé foirm agus cruth do cathanna an Chumainn Teanga trí a chuid scríbhneoireachta agus a chuid litreacha agus i gcleachtas trí choincheap 'na gceall' (gelloedd) a chruthú - atá fós mar bhunchloch an Chumainn. Ba údar é de 14 leabhar lena n-áirítear ailt, úrscéalta, gearrscéalta, dánta agus mar sin de, amhail 'Y Dydd Olaf', 'Amryw Ddarnau', 'Bara Brith'; agus tá dá den a chuid leabhar ar an ngréasán domhanda ó 2000.
