John Edwards has made his lifetime study, the peculiarities of the Welsh/English dialect.
He named this dialectical oddity "Wenglish" and recorded it as it is spoken, mainly in the valleys and townships of South Wales (that's OLD South Wales for our antipodean visitors).
In addition to reissuing the books, John Edwards has also recorded a series of CD's demonstrating Wenglish 'in use' All are available for purchase at his live talks, or direct from him at his home address (see ABOUT US)

 languagehat.com: WENGLISH.
A translation of the Welsh 'yn erbyn', meaning 'by the time' as in "Against I'd washed the dishes, there was no time to clean the house".
'Frages' is Wenglish for 'for ages' and 'issages' is the Wenglish equivalent of 'this ages': "I haven't seen you frages.", or "I haven't been to the pictures 'issages.".
However, I wouldn't say all of it is characteristically Wenglish.
