Minority Languages of the UK
★About Welsh★
Welsh have been spoke by people living in west coast of Wales. Now only 19% of Welsh can speak own language. On the other hand, before 1870 90% of Welsh can speak it. The reason of the dicrease of the rate is that the government of British prohibited teachers from using Welsh as a medium of education. However, since the 1960s, thanks to the rise of Welsh political nationalism people hsve taken various measures to protect Welsh.
★Measure★
Now there are various measure to protect Welsh. One of the measure is that signs are given first in Welsh and then in English. Also BBC broadcasting offer the site to learn Welsh by Internet for Free. Also, there are a lot of ways to protect Welsh, for example, television, radio, books, subject, festival and so on. I think television is very good way to protect, because most of people like young and old people watch the television everyday. Especially, TV drama which was made in Wales and cast speaks only Welsh is good way. If the drama became popular in Britain many people of all over the world pay attention to it such as a Korean boom iof Japan.
