I am staggered by the sheer hugeness of this.

The #WelshGovernment has a policy of bilingualism. All meetings include translators, so that speakers of English or Welsh can participate equally. But every member of the Welsh Cabinet is a native speaker of #Cymraeg, so the Cabinet meetings will be held in their native lsnguage.

Imposing the #EnglishLanguage was a key component of the imperial project of Britishness. But the tide has turned. 💚 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@2legged
I'm an Englishman* who has lived in Wales for 26 years. My Cymraeg is minimal but I absolutely welcome this!

* my Plaid friends have declared me honorary Welsh though.

@jamesb @2legged If you want to learn, btw, https://learnwelsh.cymru/ makes it quite easy and affordable.

No requirement too, though, obv 💖

Learn Welsh

Diolch, @owenblacker. That's very kind.

I had long intended to do some proper learning of Cymraeg, to get me beyond the few dozen words taught by my dear friends in Eryri.

But these days, my energy levels are too low to take on a project like that.
