Tolkien begins with an overview of the terms wikt British British , wikt Celtic Celtic , wikt Germanic Germanic , wikt Saxon Saxon , wikt English English and wikt Welsh Welsh , explaining the latter term s etymology in walha . Tolkien also addresses the historical language contact between English language English and Welsh language Welsh since the Anglo Saxon invasion of Britain , including Welsh loanwords in English Welsh loanwords and Welsh substrate in English substrate influence found in English, and conversely wikt Appendix Glossary of Welsh Words of English Origin English loanwords in Welsh . Comparing the Germanic i mutation i mutation and the Celtic Affection linguistics affection , Tolkien says The north west of Europe, in spite of its underlying differences of linguistic heritage Goidelic, Brittonic, Gallic its varieties of Germanic and the powerful intrusion of spoken Latin is as it were a single sprachbund philological province , a region so interconnected in race, culture, history, and linguistic fusions that its departmental philologies cannot flourish in isolation. In the final part of the lecture, Tolkien explores the concept of phonaesthetics , citing the phrase cellar door as a recognized beautiful sounding phrase in English, adding that to his own taste, in Welsh cellar doors are extraordinarily frequent .

Kassel conversations in German Kasseler Gespr che is the conventional name of an early medieval text preserved in a manuscript from c. 810 . It is held today in the Universit tsbibliothek Kassel university library of Kassel , Germany Ms. 4 theol. 24 . It contains several parts, among them an Exhortatio ad plebem christianam , an instructional theological text in Latin. The part that has been of most interest for modern scholarship is that of the so called Kassel glosses , one of the earliest written documents of the Old High German language. The Kassel Gloss transliteration gloss es are a collection of words and short phrases translated from Latin to Old High German. They appear to have been meant as a practical tool to help speakers of Romance languages learn what today is called Old High German. Among them are everyday phrases such as orders given to servants shave my beard , questions and answers for basic communication do you understand? No, I don t , and a few fragmentary grammar paradigms I understand, you understood, we understood . The most famous entry, however, is a jocular jibe in Latin and Old High German Latin Stulti sunt romani sapienti sunt paioari modica est sapientia in romana plus habent stultitia quam sapientia. Old High German Tole sint uualha, spahe sint peigira luzic ist spahe in uualhum mera hapent tolaheiti denne spahi. Translation Roman Walha uualha people are stupid, Bavarians are smart there is little smartness in the Romans, they have more stupidity than smartness. The manuscript is written on 60 sheets of parchment. Based on the scribal hands and the forms of the Carolingian minuscule employed, it is believed that the text was written by two different scribes from the area of Regensburg in around 810 . Parts of the text have a parallel in a second manuscript held in St Gallen , Switzerland . The manuscript came to Kassel from Fulda in 1632 .
