Is there any words that sound the same in french and welsh?

It's actually quite tricky to find words that sound exactly the same in French and Welsh, as the two languages have very different sound systems and phonology.

However, there are a few instances where a word might *sound similar* due to shared root words, but this is usually due to both languages borrowing from a common source, like Latin.

For example:

* "Pain" (French for bread) and "Pain" (Welsh for bread) sound very similar, but the Welsh word is actually derived from Latin "panis" while the French word comes from Latin "panem".

It's important to remember that while the spelling might be similar, the pronunciation can differ significantly. For instance, "Pain" in French has a different vowel sound than in Welsh.

It's much more common to find similar-sounding words between French and other Romance languages, such as Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese, due to their shared Latin ancestry.
