Rydw i'n Cymreig - I am Welsh

Rydw i'n Cymro - I am a Welshman ("Cymro ydw i" more emphatically)

Rydw i'n Cymraes - I am a Welshwoman ("Cymraes ydw i")

Note: "Cymraeg" is used for Welsh in terms of language, "Cymreig" for other things.

The Welsh people (plural) are "Cymry", a Welshman is "Cymro" and a Welshwoman "Cymraes". They live in "Cymru" (Wales).

"Rydw i'n" is typically abbreviated in speech to "Dw i'n" (or "Rwy i'n"). Welsh sentences put the important things first, so "Dw i'n Cymro" is a neutral sentence, while "Cymro ydw i" is an emphatic sentence (emphasis on "Welshman").
