I have never made that connection between Indian (of whatever type) and Welsh. I have heard Welsh accents, but when I think of an Indian one it's more that very stereotypical Apu-style one.:-)

My friend from New Jersey was constantly mistaken for Irish when she was working in England. Now--are you saying that your mother tongue is German or English?

I'm pretty with you on the Arwen factor in LOTR. I liked her in some scenes better than I thought I would--usually when they stuck to her actual story, but I still cringe at some of her moments. Notably the "ranger caught off his guard" line and the idea that she's dying. WTF?

Anyway, I did think the times they chose to switch into Elvish always made sense and were consistent, and a nice touch.
