text: a ss yw euthek an gewer. what language is this? and what dooes it mean?   cornish.  apparently it means 'what awful weather!'.  as i understand it, this is something people in cornwall have plenty of occasion to say. now, of course, when they say it, they say it in english as the last native speaker of cornish died in the 1950's or something like that. now they're trying to revive the language - which is a celtic brother of gaelic, welsh, manx and brittany. good luck to them.
