CAN ANYONE SPEAK WENGLISH?
General Discussions ( Anything Goes )
In my humble opinion the Welsh language is worth protecting and worth defending. I grew up with Welsh-speaking friends at Ysgol Ardudwy in Harlech, Gwynedd (Then Sir Feirionedd) and I treasure my Welsh friends and I embrace the Welsh culture. I have written on the North Wales web site that I do not believe we should offer translations for Welsh names and nameplaces (e.g., Yr Wyddfa and not Snowdon). Also, we should continue to insist that Welsh teachers and Welsh government should only hire Welsh speaking people where possible. It's a real treat to hear my father speak Welsh when I visit him and I believe the language is worth studying. There's a tremendous coupling between the spoken word and music, something quite unique.
