Welsh General / Questions

This comes from www.startribune.com (“News Of The Weird”) - a website/publication from Minnesota USA, I believe.

FUNNY OLD WORLD

The Welsh language is such a severe mutation of the English spoken in the Middle Ages that it is barely distinguishable from, say, Klingon. In fact, in July, the Welsh government, responding to queries about a possible UFO sighting near Cardiff airport, playfully issued its galaxy-friendly response in Klingon — “jang vlDa je due luq,” meaning that further information will be provided. (In Welsh, for example, “I cannot understand Welsh” is “nad oes modd i ddeall Cymraeg.”).

And here we were all along, thinking we were learning Welsh. Nice one, SSiK!

Intergalactic greetings…
