That word doesn't exist. I can speak Welsh. I also have a Welsh to English dictionary which says:

Garage, n, modurdy, garai, modurfa

Also, my grandparents speak Welsh as their first language, and they assure me that to was illegal to speak Welsh - they were forced to speak English in public, even in school.

Isn't a polyglot somebody who is multi-lingual? If this is true, don't you think there's at least one person who can speak English and Welsh/French/German/Spanish? Hell, my french teacher could also speak Spanish and German fluently.
