Probably, though I think pont is also French. Ynys is definitely Welsh.

Kyrka is church in Swedish. I can recognize pont, it has roots in Latin language (pons is bridge) and mere (mare is sea). It is always interesting when I see how one language has influence on other, that is why I like this quiz very much :)
