You can look at it that way but most Welsh speakers I know think of it being the alphabet that we all use for English minus the letters k, q, v, x and z, for which there is no use in the Welsh language.

A c is always hard, so there's no use for the k. Same for the q. A single f is pronounced like a v (hence the "fersiwn cymraeg" -- Welsh version -- on UK government and BBC web pages) and the f sound is obtained with ff in Welsh (Sîr-y-Fflint → Flintshire). No need for the x when you can use cs instead (Wrexham → Wrecsam), and there is no z sound in Welsh.
