[Spellyans] Greetings

[Linus Band]

Hi Max,

Sounds very cool! I have good and bad news for you. The bad news is that
Cornish is probably the most innovative of the Brittonic languages, so I'm
not sure how well it would be suited for your purposes. The good news is
that I think that a few sentences of Brittonic should be doable by
reconstruction and comparison with contemporary Gaulish, a close relative
on the other side of the channel. How much Brittonic do you need?

All the best,
Linus
