    Google Translate Fail.

    It can't translate "mees navidua cowzs sawzneck" from the original Cornish.

    Apparently it means "I don't speaka da Eeenglish, m'dear".

    Or words to that effect.

    The "sawzneck" bit is clearly like "saesneg" yng Nghymraeg, literally "saxon speak".

    Probably related to the Scottish term sassenach too.

      Did the celts invent these terms after meeting Sasguru?

        Or is Sas implying he is a C**t? (Celt)

          Cornish, Welsh and Breton all descend from the same roots. Speak one and you'll be ale to at least get by in the other two, especially Cornish/Breton.

          Theres a sample of Gaelic/Welsh/Cornish/Breton common words here: Celtic connections
