What does Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch mean in Welsh? GodlessLiberal 17:44, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is in Welsh, therefore in Welsh it means Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch!

Let me rephrase that, what does it mean in English? GodlessLiberal 17:48, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

Let's get some money from the English. LateralQuercus

Arf!

Llan: church, or religious enclosure (a church building itself is eglwys, from the latin ecclesia.

Y: the

Chwyrn: wild

Thus, the church of St Mary by the poool of the white hazels, close to the wild whirlpool of the red church of St Tysilio.

My goodness. I'd say that's worth mentioning in the article, or we should at least give Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch its own page. GodlessLiberal 18:08, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

Shifted the image to Llanfair P.G. article too. I'll try and find another Anglesey one. --Jeremiah4-22 19:09, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
