 And possibly some welsh...  The welsh word "drwg" (pronounced the english
 way is "droog") and means 'Bad, naughty, evil, wicked' etc.

Anthony Burgess spoke fluent Welsh (his first wife was Welsh),
so I'd have thought that was quite likely.

  Conway-san, your programming challenge for this week is:
  
 Lingua::Nihon::Perldes
  
  (but with an English - Japanese translation interface for those of
  us who didn't last out the Japanese classes)
  
 
 does lingua::nadsat exist yet? or anything along those lines?

Never mind all that.  Does anyone speak enough (I think) Klingon to
understand what the status of the Lingua::tlhIngan::yIghun module is
(see http://yetanother.org/damian/projects.html)???
