PLAY

Teaching my girlfriend how to say
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (RL) - Endless
hours
of entertainment!


I've not made a formal study of it or anything, but I've found that the
short Welsh words are much harder to pronounce than the long ones. How the
hell do you say "Fedw" and why does a word with only four letters have
three syllables?

-KKC, who put Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
into his favorite search engine and got 44,000 hits back.


Speaking as a Welsh person (although not a Welsh speaker so I could be
completely wrong) "Fedw" is a 2 syllable word. Pronounced "Ved-du".

Attack of the Welsh lurkers! Run away!

:-P
