Why is taxi spelled 'tacsi' in Welsh?
Welsh doesn't use the letter 'x' the same way and uses 'c' for the hard k-sound, so the loanword 'taxi' is respelled 'tacsi' to fit Welsh orthography.

Yes, it's the standard Welsh spelling of taxi and a common example of how English loanwords are adapted into Welsh writing.
