Standard Welsh


By Geoffrey, 2014-03-17

Over the years many of we Welsh learners and first language Welsh speakers have come to the conclusion that it would be better if standard Welsh was taught in the schools and only in Welsh learner classes - local dialects and idioms could then be learnt or recognised as the need arises. The belief is that too much emphasise is placed on what the 'experts' consider the local lingo when in reality it is very unlikely that you would come across it in the daily course of life. For example where I live the Welsh speakers whom one encounters come from many different parts of Wales and have their own dialects.The establishment of standard Welsh would facilitate communication instantly whatever ones linguistic background.
