by placing your tongue like you're going to say L, but blowing, instead. I once had a Welsh friend who joked about the percentage of people who blew on the right side, the left side, or both sides of their tongue.

Right, I know that they're not related. Welsh is a Celtic language and Icelandic is a Germanic language. And as far as I'm concerned, I don't think they sound a bit like Klingon.

I understand and speak Welsh. I don't understand and speak Klingon.

And don't start about how Welsh has no vowels. It has more vowels than English does.
