It's Welsh. Cenadl heb iaith, cenadl heb galon.

Doesn't mean I can read it, though - is "Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth" a
variant of "er gwaethaf popeth"? I didn't think Welsh had a "ph".

I always thought that sound was more like
"Ngyowng'yowng-yowng...Akh-k! Khkk! AnnghkKK!"

Nooo - popeth mutates to phopeth after a, meaning and. You were right. :)

No, we do. It's the letter after p. :)

In this case, phopeth is aspirant mutation of popeth, meaning everything.
The quote's more commonly seen as "Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth, ry'n ni yma
o hyd" - despite everyone and everything, we're still here.

It's a good quote. :)

When it's coming from me, it's always a question, as I'm learning from
the books and on-line. I know that 'real' language is often not the same
as 'teach yourself' language.

I'm an Apple user, so no Kazaa, but I do have "Y Meistri" and "Hen
Gelwydd Prydain Newydd" by Tystion.

The shareware application "Acquisition" serves a similar purpose
and does it very well.

I can't recall how I came across Tystion, but I have to admit it's
amusing to hear such modern music (technoish) being performed in such an
ancient language.

Here's one I like: Cwsg yw bywyd heb lyfrau (a life without books is
sleep.)
