How many AH'ers

I'm more a Bian Sidhe than a Wicht, especially once I've got some uisge beatha in me.

Is that Irish? Welsh?

Every time I see one of these Celtic-ish languages written out, I'm convinced that these folks reduced their language to writing with the deliberate intent to make it unpronounceable and unintelligible. Probably to fool the English.

I imagine it this way:

English soldier: You there! Farmer. We know you know where the rebel bandit has gone. Write it down on this piece of paper!

Farmer's written note: Hai wnwqt tuu thae Brsmmntqkltfsh rwnd the helhl bynd the Kmsrymuhssrkth.

gaelic, mostly. Wicht is german / old english though.

Welsh, though... I'm convinced that Welsh is a 1500 year old joke the English just haven't got yet.
 
Ignore the poems, the essay, and the 750-word piece, and I managed a whole two stories this year. :)
