    Great point actually, Celtic languages IMO are the most cumbersome to approach out of all the Indo Euro branches.. Next up would probably be something like Tocharian, met a fate somewhat parallel to Celtic, wouldn't you say?

    The long form of the name is the longest place name in the United Kingdom and one of the longest in the world at 58 characters (51 "letters" since "ch" and "ll" are digraphs, and are treated as single letters in the Welsh language).

    Literally translated, the name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch means: [The] church of [St.] Mary (Llanfair) [of the] pool (pwll) of the white hazels (gwyn gyll) near [lit. "over against"] (go ger) the rapid whirlpool (y chwyrn drobwll) [and] the church of [St.] Tysilio (Llantysilio) of the red cave (-ogo[f] goch). The latter element has also been translated as "the cave of St Tysilio the Red".
