hmmm, I've proven that I have quite a family history over there (English and Irish at least). Don't know Welsh though. Probably a drop of Scottish.. Of course my roommate is mostly Scottish and Italian (looks Italian, name's Scottish).
But could be very wrong. Welsh is a basically a made up language these days; it was so far gone and so archaic that it's essentially made up from scratch with best guesses and sticking -io on the end of anything post C18th-C19th.
I think the 'o' might be a long one (ow, phonetically?) too..
That and reading crap fantasy stuff which rips off the psuedo-celtic bollocks so beloved of the plebs.

Never actually bothered learning welsh; seemed such a pointless exercise! The only time it was used (and bear in mind this is the heartland of welsh-speaking) was to bitch about students and young people, and so on and so forth!
