No, it’s the one with the spitting and throat-clearing.

Pro tip from my grandmother:
Prayers in Welsh get answered faster, because God doesn’t have to wait for the translation.

The Welsh part of the sign says “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated.”

If Klingons spoke of Daffodils, that’s Welsh.

Not Welsh, no. I believe the most popular clickin’ language is Xhosa

A college buddy and I visited this village in the '80s as part of a biking tour of Wales. A young lad who was hanging out at the train station proceeded to issue a well-rehearsed discourse on the meaning and pronunciation of the town. I think he was hoping for a small honorarium, but he didn’t press, and we were poor, so he went away disappointed, and we, feeling even poorer. The locals call it (according to the young man) Llanfair PG.

Okay, I lack the time and skills for this, so can someone please make a dance mix of this Welsh alphabet recording? I mean, I’m kind of surprised Brian Eno hasn’t used it for something already.
