As many of us work towards independence, we need a vision of what a free Wales might be like. A broad agreement on the fundamental aspects of our national identity and goals, which can be shared across the political spectrum. This would form a foundation of shared values that can exist above the cut and thrust of everyday politics and exclusionary practices. And it must include the Welsh language.
I feel there must be a commitment to making Wales a fully bilingual nation. The Welsh language is at the core of our history and identity. Without Y Gymraeg, who are we? On that basis, how do we ensure the revival of Welsh as a truly community language? That means a language used in every aspect of life: in the home, the workplace, and social settings. We will need to have policies that address every aspect of the use of our language.
Genuinely good point - But this forum isn’t in Wales, it’s more of an extension of our world to the outside world. I suppose the way I see it, people would be more interested in the going-ons in Wales if they can at least read those in English.
I’m absolutely open to posting more in Welsh if people want that though.
I think it would be cool to see both languages in one post (or separate posts). And most of us have translation abilities on our devices to read posts not in our native language.
I think somewhere in your reply may be your answer.
