It's hard to say, it is actually similar to Welsh - at least going off one word. Welsh for "child" is "plentyn". Perhaps it's a bad translation and the translator didn't know it was meant to be in Welsh. Perhaps it was intentionally a warped version of Welsh just to get an original, foreign language.

But the story seems to be that a usurper tried to overthrow the royal family of Zangvebar (a land that is famous for having zebra), so that woman (Viki) who may or may not be the mother of the child (who is the crown prince of Zangvebar) fled to the safe haven of Toussaint. They were pursued by the usurper's men. Bad luck dogged them and the ships were wrecked. The usurper's men knew they were in Velen somewhere but didn't pinpoint them until Geralt does in this quest.
