Help your conlang fluency (2)

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

Falli One-Eye, chief of the stonemasons, has cut the meeting-hall. Over the door it is inscribed "Beyond this is the Kingdom of the Black Mountain" and on columns either side are stone dwarfs holding axes. We have dug out a storage room which measures twenty by twenty by five. Currently we are sleeping under our boats which are upside-down.

Sgurach, sen gedhar crâin,
sen luaith thallar sith?
Rhasgadan dremmaig?
An rhasgad mo ith,
cem vars ys na yr?

Dormbâr! Brachtlôch! Silionanach Scîgh!
Hûriffach snach, varsyth yr.
Tscagh-Orc! Orpiôgh. Dhun-Dilianach!
Bûrach ŷn ith, beth tan dhallaran
.

Mountains, as a crown of a king,
how should I praise your beauty?
(with) the language of boatmen?
With the language which is not mine,
which had named you before I did?

Old-Hill! Stone-Beard! The Islands of Sea-Foam!
(with) these words I have named you.
Cloudy-Head! Flattop! Hill of the Stars!
Names which are mine which I speak from the heart.


...gotta love amateur poetry.

I'm happy. I think my language is pretty, today the weather was good, I'm eating olives, and tonight I'm seeing my friends. I walked in a forest and saw a honeybee on a leaf. I want honey.

Bonus points if you get the protolang. Chocolate cake if you can identify more than six of the historical roots.
