SR - German Principality Names

[Dennis and/or Dory Grace]

Salut Cozyns.

Lyonel aisai.

His Excellency Sir Pendaren says:
>Sadly, Ritter Dieterich is showing his ignorance 
>again. *sigh*  Welsh, when spoken by a native, is a soft, lyrical 
>language. Only when Welsh is attempted with an English alphabet does 
>it become guttural. Speaking of guttural languages, ever listen to a 
>couple of Germans going at it in heavy conversation? Whew! Sounds like 
>a puking contest! :)

Actually, Your Excellency, mastering German pronunciations is quite simple.
 Step one:  fill your belly with overcooked, lard-laden sausage and
fermented cabbage.  Step two: choke down some dry rye bread lubricated with
extremely skunky beer or sour wine.  Step three:  try to talk.  The caraway
seed will get caught in your throat, and the rumbling in your belly will
create just the right guttural tenor.

Warning:  excessive consumption of German food or drink will result in
speaking German out the wrong orifice.

vostre cozyn
Sir Lyonel
