   That’s because it’s Welsh, and they are from different branches of   
   Celtic, probably as different as English and Danish, or even English   
   and French.

   The spelling is stranger than the actual language. For example, note   
   that w and y are used as vowels. C is always k, f is v, ff is f.

   >                 bod yn,   bod y   
      
   The whole picture of the language is very peculiar, and easy to   
   recognize at first glance, once you’ve seen it a few times.
