there are many things i am a fan of joey batey in the witcher for and being the first person to more or less correctly pronounce a welsh word is now one of them
#the witcher
#i admit i'm not an expert on the welsh language but i do know <dd> is pronounced like <th> as in ''this'' or ''then''
#so 'gwynbleidd' is not 'gwin-bleyd' but 'gwin-bleyth'
#('blaidd' is 'wolf' apparently anyway)
#it's just been irking me
#celtic languages have been used sporadically throughout the series (every once in a while an irish or irish-like word will show up)
#and almost zero times have they been pronounced correctly
#so this stood out to me :)
#i also want to give credit to the dialect coach who is helping with the elvish language direction
#but it was definitely 'bleyd' earlier
#whether that was on the particular actor speaking or the director i have no idea
#i'm down a language rabbit hole the elder speech language is all i care about now i want to see documentation for it
#how close it is to welsh? maybe this is time for me to learn welsh
