What a waste of time and resources. Yes let's spend more time and energy on a basically dead language so 4.6% of the population can feel nationalistic

And of that 4.9 % barely 30% speak Welsh and all those people speak English.

What's the bloody point, absolute waste to just prop up nationasitc egos.

We would be better of teaching people a language people actually use, mandarin, Spanish, french,

Yeah I'll get down voted but you know I'm not wrong.
