Welsh language 10:42 - Jun 3 with 3358 viewsCwmafanJack

Is there any parts of the South Wales valleys that have any significant speakers anymore? There's quite a few in cwmafan but that seems to be more wenglish.

Living in Carmarthen (not the valleys) plenty of welsh speakers. Wife is first language welsh. As I see it the language is so old that a lot of modern day life is not translatable as there is no welsh word for some things. I speak a form of what i term as pidgin welsh, ie first language is English but have stock phrases that get me by and that I use with my 3 year old.

As someone who has to get all of my work letters translated in to Welsh and answer my phone in Welsh. I would say no, as I don't think I've continued correspondance in Welsh.

There are some first language Welsh speakers around but they only really speak and not read and write in Welsh.

I cover all of South Wales - from Monmouthshire to Pembs, it is very different further North.

My daughter will be first language welsh. That said with an all Welsh speaking family on one side and all English speaking the other she is already bilingual.

Swansea Valley and the Amman Valley have sizeable numbers of Welsh speakers. I live further West in Carmarthen area and there is a lot of Welsh down this way. I was passing a pub in town on Sunday and could hear 4 young boys sitting on a bench having a pint all speaking Welsh, it was good to hear.
I went to the Welsh school by Port Talbot and am fluent. I use Welsh in work everyday, my kids are also fluent having been educated through the medium of Welsh.

Don’t ever try writing in Welsh, you have enough difficulty stringing a few words together in English.

Lots. The Eastern Europeans in the area love to learn Welsh. I admire them.
We also have classes for the older English immigrants . They want to be Welsh now.

Seems some believe that anyone speaking Welsh is somehow more worthy and imply better than those who do not. A clear apartheid joyfully enforced .
Shameful.

First sign of transgenderism.

When who like the sound of those 4 languages normally think they are female.
