Or words to that effect.

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

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
