Do you 'murder' French in the same way as you do Welsh?"Creosote am Cymru" or summat!
This was a joke, my Welsh girlfriend of the time laughed! Saw it when driving into Wales to visit her family in Abertillery.Do you 'murder' French in the same way as you do Welsh?

And yes, I do make jokes in French, puns etc etc. But I "murder" it less than the French do themselves.
Without language-based jokes, humour would be much poorer. Especially on fora! (As I don't want to murder Latin either!)
I know but it's worth it.@Shimsteriom

I seem to be crashing into peeps' sensitivities at the mo.Good to hear but the difference is that the Welsh highly value their language and fight very hard to keep it in existence so they do not appreciate it being 'turned into a joke.
I hope your on about Breton language & not the pudding/cakeIn France where they have the same battles to preserve Occitan, Breton, etc,
. Neighbours of ours spoke it a lot, especially at work.

As I said, she and her family, (after SHE laughingly told them about it) just thought it was funny. It was not making fun of a language, rather using the language to make a joke, but the subtlety is lost on some.
As for them fighting hard to keep it alive, as far as I can tell they are doing bloody well. Not employing a teacher unless he/she can speak Welsh for instance, as a Brit who can't that meant I could never have worked in Wales although I could have worked anywhere else in the UK. I actually felt discriminated against, but then who would care? I also believe there are compulsory Welsh lessons in Welsh schools. And I did know some who resented this, much like English kids resenting having to do an MFL. And of course I came across a lot of that, from both kids and parents.
In France where they have the same battles to preserve Occitan, Breton, etc, they have no such drastic measures. And yes I do wish I spoke Occitan, which used to be spoken far more commonly than I ever knew, only a generation or two ago. Neighbours of ours spoke it a lot, especially at work.
Looks alright to me,I hope your on about Breton language & not the pudding/cake
I see they are doing the Tour de France through Brest next year
