How do we rebuild the Welsh language in Wales? (bylines.cymru)

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.
