You say your not against anyone speaking it? How magnanimous of you. The language is
a thousand years old and you say its "ok" for the hundreds of thousands of people in Wales
to carry on?
Then say it belongs in a museum.
No wonder the English defeated us. The divide and rule tactics are still prevalent today
Longshanks was a clever fucker
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what I said that has confused you. Just becausing something is in a museum it doesn't mean you can't study/speak it.

Welsh is a living vibrant language, why does it need to go in a museum?
All people have to do to hear it is get on a Bus up to West Wales or the North...
or if you cant be arsed getting on a train:

I am very proud of my Welsh heritage but the langauge i'm afraid does not concern me, we used to walk around naked throwing spears at eachother in the age of the celts but thank the mighty lord I don't see you doing that today.
And Boris isn't that a wonderful fairytale but sadly that has no relevance to this thread so stop making yourself out to be a better Welshman than the rest of us.

Because if we were you wouldn't be part of the conversation.
I was out on the town last night (in Cardiff) and had a full blown conversation in Welsh with 3 strangers. I love the fact I can speak Welsh. It's part of my identity. I doesn't make me a better person or a better Welshman. But it certainly doesn't make me worse.
If someone Welsh doesn't want to speak Welsh that's fine by me. But start talking toss about my language and my heritage and your out of order.

reason your not speaking it on here is because the majority dont speak it. That is why welsh news channels and newspapers are in engish as well. the sooner we start building an industry and put the language to bed the better.

English Nazis? By f**k i'm Welsh and proud your the one wanting to rid Wales of all English people, your racist posts on here make me laugh, your wife must have been playing away with Dave the Englishmen as that's the only reason you could be so bitter towards a group of people.
All those crying out for independence can never answer the question "How will we pay for it all"? The silence is deafening. Cries of "WE HAVE WATER WE CAN SELL!!1!" time for a reality check. But Wales is ripe for independence isn't it? It's not as if we have one of the largest percentage of people working in the public sector or the largest amount of jobless, dole bums but lets not let decent facts get in the way of a good arguement. Most on here do not realise England has SUBSIDISED us for years and years. That's not bowing down to them that's me being a REALIST and deep down the nationalists f*cking know it.

nobody is asking them to speak it?
Any more than they are asking them to paddle to work in a coracle.
The Welsh language is THE reason Wales still has its own identity. The Normans flooded
Wales and Wales was almost drowned in a sea of bastardised cultures. But the Welsh
would not give up the language. It angered a succession of English Kings. They tried to
ban it. Ban the written word. But the Bible was written in Welsh hundreds of years ago
and the Welsh would not succumb. War after war after war. Always centred round the
Welsh refusing to give up the language. 'Wales' is actually a Germanic word meaning
'foreigner' (see back then, the english language was still in its infancy) The English
were so f*cking fed up of the belligerent Welsh that they tried to breed us out, and
Welsh people (The Tudors) even took over the English throne and STILL they couldn't
budge the Welsh. It wasnt about potatoes, peat or copper mines. Wales was on the
border. Far to close for comfort to London and STILL the fuckers insisted on speaking
their own language.
We are a belligerent, argumentative, take no shit, take on all-comers type of people.
Does anyone else need a clue where that stems from??
Its not from eating seaweed!!
"i'm proud of my Welsh Heritage" .... They say...
But switch the telly off when "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" comes on in the Rugby
Yeh righto... do they f**k!!

Again you have decided to ignore the question at hand and concentrate on the minutiae of my post. Lets say Scotland have been subsidising Wales, doesn't that pose an even more bleak future for a country in light of the referendum up there in the next few years? Where are we going to find the money to support ourselves alone? Answer that question and what you say may hold some water but I expect some more nit picking and drivel from you.
just like any nationalist, your views are full of dreams (nightmares for most), fantasies and illusions without a shred of realism.

That's all I wanted to know, this is what this thread is about. I apologise for bringing up the language, I should have known better. It is shame that on both sides of the debate the language is used to point score.
