How do you pronounce that? Ar-gah or Agg-ah?

Kernowfolk pronounced it Agga, as in Daniel. Never understood that.

The basic Brythonic heritage of the Cornish and Welsh is the same. We even share some words in the language, and most are fairly similar.

For example: the Welsh word for "language" itself, is "iaith" (pronounced yaith) - in Kernewek it's "yeth". Similarly, "Merry/Happy Christmas" in Cymraeg is "Nadolig Llawen" - in Kernewek, "Nadelek Lowen."

I think I'm in the wrong job. I should be an ethno-linguism-vexillologist. I'm fascinated by word origins and political sociology.

You look like you haven't slept for a week!

Staying up all night drinking beer, downloading pornography and music isn't wise. However, I strongly recommend it! ;)
