Welsh Smash

@hejsanhoppsan KITTEN!

@VanessaLeskinen Kitten <3

@hejsanhoppsan That explains a lot.

@Rosabelle Guess so.

@hejsanhoppsan *Distant clapping.*

@hejsanhoppsan :kicks open door: "WHO'S MESSING WITH MY BAE" >:u
"CUZ TO WHOEVER IS! well done" :u x>

@hejsanhoppsan yup.. This is more accurate than smashing face to the keyboard... Accidently the cat did it...

Once you know how to pronounce the letters in our alphabet, it's rather simple to read and pronounce.

It gets a little complicated around the letter f (pronounced like a 'v', 'ff' is 'f') and 'dd', 'll' are variations of the 'th' sound (not quite, but close enough).

And we also have 'ch' (which sounds kind of like you're trying to spit - "like the ch in the Scottish word ‘loch’, but with more phlegm"), 'ng' ("as in ‘song’, where the g isn’t hard, like in ‘gig’, but a soft glottal stop made in your throat" - sometimes you see Nghymru (original: Cymru), which is a mutation of the word for the sake of grammar), 'ph' ('English' f, like 'ff'), 'r' must be rolled (if you can roll your r's), 'rh' ("make a huffy, breathy sound before your rolled ‘r’").

And we pronounce the other letters in the alphabet differently too.

... You don't really realise how... strange it is until you write it down...

(I had to look up how to pronounce some letters, as some are hard to describe when you're used to them and have known them since you were little)

Eventually, Welsh letters make sense. It's hilarious to see young children learn both alphabets in school and try to keep them separate! (We're very bilingual here; lots of people speak both Welsh and English)

When putting:
"And I don't mean that mockingly, because that is bloody amazing."
into Google translate, it becomes:
"Ac nid wyf yn golygu y watwarus, oherwydd mae hynny'n gwaedlyd anhygoel."
in Welsh.

Honestly the Welsh language genuinely fascinates me. I remember when I was younger and I would go into Google translate and keysmash and hit translate and some of it would be actual words! Like dude! That's so neat that maybe one day I'll actually try to learn some Welsh. Mad respect for them for that. They have such an interesting language!

@FeferiDoctor try speaking it. especially when you have fun things like "LL", "DD", "CH", "RH" ect and lets not forget fun words like " Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch"

@crwydryny Oh man, one day I'd love to. I'd garble it up so bad but I'll try! xD

@crwydryny
Most of my r's are pronounced like rh.

@crwydryny There's a language that makes Welsh pronunciation look like a walk in the park. I forget what it is, but it has no vowels. That's right, NO VOWELS! And instead of just singular and plural, it has singular, double, TRIPLE, and plural forms. It must be hell to speak.

Actually Welsh makes much more sense than English xD English is soooo much more complicated and random. As soon as you know the Welsh alphabet, you can read everything. But if you know the English alphabet...you'll read like half of the words wrong. Maybe even more ;)

I should write a clever response to this comic!
