Welsh reads to me like: ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
I genuinely can't tell of this is real Welsh or just gibberish with a random '
it's from HP Lovecraft's Cthulu mythos, off the top of my head it reads something like, "Deep in the underwater city of Ryleh, Cthulu lies asleep, dreaming"
OK, but do you mean the actual text is from a story where this text is the gibberish that summons Cthulu? Or that it's a translated piece of text from that story that is now in Welsh?
it's a fake mysterious language Lovecraft made up. nothing to do with Welsh
Google reckons this would be: "Yn ddwfn yn ninas danddwr R'lyeh, mae Cthulhu yn gorwedd yn cysgu, yn breuddwydio"
I'a ! I'a !

One of the people who provides disability related support to me is Welsh and I can't wait to show her this

New Friday Night Funkin' mod idea dropped
What reasons could there possibly be to not let a zombie horse into your home?
How do you make a Welsh man fall asleep?
Ask him to count how many bedpartners he had.
