Welcome to Cucr Ag Chymbric

You know what it's like: you're horny and you come online looking for some nice pics of naked men and you're thinking 'if only I could learn an ancient, dead language whilst I did this. It would make the whole experience of getting off much more fulfilling.'

Well luckily, you've just stumbled across the nearest thing. Every week (hopefully), this blog will be updated not only with pics of tasty men, but also with little lessons in the ancient, lost language of Cymbric.

For those of you who care (and who've not just come here hoping to find a few more specimens for your ever-increasing illicit porn collection) is an ancient Celtic language related to Cymraeg (Welsh), Kernewek (Cornish) and Brezhoneg (Breton). It was spoken in the North West of England and South West of Scotland from around 300AD to perhaps as late as 900AD by the native peoples of that region, who called themselves the Cymri, after whom Cumbria is named.

Unfortunately, unlike its sister languages, Cymbric was almost completely wiped out by the Norse and English, and very little is known about it. What you will find here is one of several reconstructed languages - an attempt to portray Cymbric as it was spoken during its lifetime.

Enjoy and learn...
