Hardly. But the grammar's fairly easy. :o)

What I actually wrote was for my new front page:
"Bengwenid a'll ffoil di duil di ll'ambasciad arforig in Nghemr! Ci
ligarath-'w yn dest di newel ydil subr llo hYsl hArforig e sew gulltor.
Mollt gw hes yn arforig c'abit yn Nghemr, gw segheth lla releon 'wegl, gw'w
phrobuneth yn gweil in llo hYsl o nustr fel nediwn ysteirig es sulfent
intressant a'w, gw hes lligad a’ll llog iust."

The Arvorec version is:
"Hodhaeth de feleth dwyl an ambasyad arvorec yn Cembry! A gavydhych yn an
lech ma daesseth o 'wydaeth am an Ynysaw hArvorec ac ân culthor. Y^s ych
Arvorch yn byw yn Cembry, ych combrow, probonach belrynath yn an Ynysaw,
y^s yw dydhorwn dedhwch ân thy^r prydeth ac heancasol, a dhaethed-chwy de’n
lech yawn"

Much kudos to anyone who can work out the English version, and even more
kudos to anyone who can spot the Brithenig loan-words in the Arvorec. No
cheating with a dictionary, either (that means you, Padraig!)
