I'm looking to find a phrase in any Celtic language(I know there's no such thing, but it's a handy catch all term) that might equate to "The Hungry Village", "The Hungry Town", "The Town Where They Eat A Lot" or something simmilar. Cany anyone help?

Well, the Welsh would be something like y tref llwglyd, but I'm useless on declensions. What's this in aid of?

"The village where they eat flesh" would also be good. It's for a puppet show, strangely enough.

Baile an Ocras or probably more correctly Baile an tOcras for an Irish Gaelic translation of Town of Hunger. Bailebheag would be village. Bolya on Ucras/Bolya on Tuckras/Bolyavyug respectively for shakey phonetic translations.

An bailebheag càr n-itheann siad feoil (the village where they eat flesh). Although feoil is more traditionally meat so maybe you should use choilainn in its stead.

No, really I have to say that after 3 years of customer service work my accent has been muted into something very, very unsexy.
