Welsh Language

Backward Inbred deliquents

High opinion you have of your fellow countrymen ...

Where are you from then?

He's not from Swansea now f**k off

I agree. They need to stop teaching it in schools, by teaching it to kids who speak English isn't going to help that keep it alive, it seems rather pointless. There's only a small minority of people in Wales who speak Welsh as their first language these days.

Why stop teaching it in schools? I learnt the language solely in school.

They should teach it to people who WANT to learn the language, I've had to go through school having to learn the basics without having a choice... there's only a very small amount of people in South Wales who speak Welsh.

Over 50 % of Carmarthenshire & Ceredigion speak Welsh, over 25 % in Pembrokeshire.
That's quite a large minority.

As their first language? I doubt it... I wonder when that was last updated and how many people they surveyed

Maybe not as the first language ... Sometime in the last 10 years ... Don't know.

I know though for example most people in Llanelli use Welsh which is just down the road, they use Welsh + English in the same conversations ...

I've been to Llanelli a few times and most spoke English, rarely came across someone speaking Welsh

I've been to Llanelli a few times and most spoke English, rarely came across someone speaking Welsh

Well most of the one's I've come across were able to speak it ... Think Imogen Thomas.

They probably do use English as their first language though, predominately.

What do you have against the language? It doesn't inconvenience you does it?

Quite a few people in the area I live in speak Welsh. I live in Cardiff and i'd say the area around me, about 30% people speak Welsh, quite a few choose welsh as their preferred language. I'd speak welsh a lot more but i'm in uni in england so obviously they don't speak welsh.

Polo, I suggest reading it again, he said the AREA in Cardiff he lives in.

If the Welsh don't want to retain the language then, quite franky, nobody will. A true shame in many respects.

Around half the people on my parents street in Cardiff speak Welsh.
What do you know about Cardiff anyway Merthyr?

I like you and I like your posts but but honestly what would happen if the welsh language was lost? We wouldn't die, we wouldn't starve? Just curious

More than you turncoat

I live in the Lakeside/Roath area. Not a big area considering Cardiff is big but still quite a lot of people can speak welsh. I know a lot of people in other areas don't speak welsh but there are some that still do. If you find evidence that proves me wrong fair enough but I know a lot of welsh speaking people in that area.

Absolutely nothing, we would have lost a part of our national identity and cultural heritage but nothing would happen to us directly of course. I just think it would be a big shame to lose our language really, although I'm not a nationalist by any means.

We'd be just another part of England.

What difference would that make to someone who lives in England anyway?

But in history many things have been lost or forgotten, many cultures Have disappeared and languages lost its not going to stop if the human race is around long enough even the English language will disappear its just a natural progression of us humans.

This thread is really embarassing. Polo, you're a first class TIT.

This. Besides, in ten years we'll all be speaking Chinese.

Not all countries have their own language though, English is the 3rd most spoken language in the world. There are quite a few differences between Wales and England. Scottish people speak English but that doesn't make Scotland just another part of England, I know they have other 'languages' which I don't really know about but still.

You do know that Welsh isn't our official language? England don't even have an official language.

Dw I'n dysgu Cymraeg yn yr swyddfa---this year and it has resulted on our company (which is UK wide) winning a contract worth millions with the Welsh government. It is fun and fills us all with pride that we can speak our own language as well as english, which by the way hasn't been around for the time the Welsh language has.

Cretins like Polo are too lazy and opinionated to get off their fat backsides and learn their own language ---pathetic excuses everytime but lazyness is the real reason people don't bother. I bet Polo is lazy in all aspects of his life mind…...

Prynhawn da pawb!

Dai Hitler has the cheek to call me lazy when the Welsh language is so outdated it doesnt even have Welsh words for more modern words and terms
