Being of nearly all Welsh genetics, I had always hoped that my "mother"
language would come more easily to my tongue and ears than some. But
alas, no. I've tried. It sounds like the speaker's tongue has been cut

whose tongues have been cut out. None the less, it's a beautiful land,
from what I've seen (especially your pictures), and I'd like to visit.
