Does anybody here speak FLUENT Welsh?
I need a big favour here in work, and my basic Gog is far, far from adequate!!
Any help appreciated...

So far I've worked out:
"Diolch i fy anwylyn edmygwr"
Does that make any sense?

Between us we worked out:
"Cariad! I fy anwylyn edmygwr, diolch yn fawr"
Hope that's right

Sweet, that's pretty much what we were aiming for. In fact, exactly what we wanted. Apart from we didn't know what "Fan" was, so went with "Admirer".
Diolch yn fawr, i cariad ti!

Nope.
It's an indoeuro language, despite what you'd think. It looks nothing like English though. Dutch is closer to English than Welsh, as is French, German, Spanish... (probably)
Apart from borrowed words, it aint too similar. I'm not sure if Welsh is germanic-indoeuro or latin-indoeuro. Probably Germanic, if you look at it. Not give it much thought!!
