Yup. Wish my Welsh grandfather could’ve lived to see this.

It's also not a dead language by any stretch of the imagination. Even latin isn't technically a dead language since it is still used.

Imperialists calling something dead is often just wishful thinking.

“Just seen”

“Just saw” is accepted shorthand for “I/we just saw…” “I have seen…” is acceptable if you’re saying that you’ve watched a movie 27 times.

Even substituting in “I just have seen” in the OP doesn’t make grammatical sense to me.

The guy should probably worry more about his own English than other people’s Welsh.

“What a lovely forest, pity there’s trees in it.”

Also, over half a million Welsh speakers exist in Wales, accounting for roughly 20% of the population. It's hardly dead.

My cousin is dating a guy who’s first language is welsh. His family live basically at the base of Snowdonia. He is fluent in English but welsh is definitely his preferred language. I thought he was a bit aloof when I first met him but he later explained he finds it hard to keep up with the conversation and be as witty and quick in English as he is in welsh, especially in a noisy pub. He’s in his early 30s and all his friends from home are bilingual but consider their native language welsh.

The language revival efforts in the British isles are honestly inspiring. In Scotland a lot of people are making sure their children are educated in Gaelic, even though they don't speak a word themselves.

the British trying not to commit cultural genocide for 10 Minutes (impossible)

They should have stopped at Boaty McBoatface, really.

It is as well as being in old repost

EU used to provide almost all the funding for preserving, teaching and promotion of Cornish. After Brexit, Cornwall is now getting less than half the funding that EU would have provided.

Or most people at least wont understand the racist shit! ;)

Yoons typically bang on about the importance of conservation of tradition, UK culture and values but are incredibly quick to deny its national languages. Usually as they see this as a threat to the union instead of something wonderful to protect and promote in modern Britain.

You should see some of the rhetoric on twitter regarding dual road signs. Some madlad got lost driving to Fort William as the sign also says An Gearasdan.

What's Welsh for moron?

The what where?

It’s called Welsh rarebit and it’s plenty common in England too!
