   Aye right. Ah ken it's a guid thing tae study auld languages, but is this   
   really Cumbric? I dinnae think sae ... ah mean, whit Cumbric dae we hae? A   
   few placenames? A few historical names?   
      
   So, whit we hae here is a wee bit Welsh, a wee bit Breton and a wee bit   
   Cornish. And fae there ye wrote yer ain language, but ye didnae ca' it   
   Walkerish, ye ca'ed it Cumbric.   
      
   Why dae ah no trust ye?
