Is a language dead if it has more than *squints* half a million daily speakers despite centuries of imperialism?

Fucknuggets.

Sometimes you wonder if they can function outside their imaginary world

the english want the welsh language to die so people dont notice that 80% of ‘english mythology’ has been lifted wholecloth from wales, had the serial number filed off and covered with a union jack

My favourite.

It’s a beautiful language, like Gaelic, Scottish and Irish. All languages are important for our history, it teaches us who we are, and who we were, it’s our true indigenous tongue.

Welsh was never a “dead language” because it was too strong for it’s enemies to kill.

the welsh government wants to force everyone to learn welsh? man that sure sounds totalitarian, imagine if the english government forced everyone to learn english smh smh

A form of genocide by trying to kill a language the English and American powers that be have been attempting on indigenous cultures for centuries. Protect, Welsh, Irish, Native American languages, Austrailian Aborigine, and all the many others not coming immediately to mind.

This is happening in France as well. French is the only official language in France and for many years, children weren’t allowed to speak other languages in school. This is why many of the French regional languages, such as Breton and Franco-Provençal, are endangered.

Most endangered languages aren’t endangered because their speakers stopped caring, they’re endangered because they were forcibly repressed
