Welsh in Wales is very much a minority language and is just about to become an official language, and I believe is also the language of Government. What status does/ will English hold, and will non-Welsh speakers continue to be able to hold public office? In addition, will all (even small) businesses have to be bilingual? I speak many languages and am very comfortable with using different languages, but, despite having pleasant experiences in social interaction with many mother tongue Welsh speakers, ordinary spoken Welsh is elusive to me as there are many cultural barriers between first language Welsh speakers and first language English speakers, which make to possibilities for fluency in Welsh very limited. Also speakers of Welsh often seem to have huge hang-ups about "getting it right", which leads to slowness in propagating their spoken language. How will this all work in practice? I have no fixed point of view and certainly no axe to grind, but am curious as to how this will work without acting unfavourably against those with no Welsh in the jobs and public office market. Can anyone give me an overview? Will English now become a second-class language, offering limited possibilities in decision-making positions? Clearly I need to know this, as our current business is in a growth phase (along with my family), and we need to plan ahead about whether we will be able to contribute adequately to the new Welsh nation....

I am sick of being sent messages by Yahoo saying i have violated the sites rules by posting in my native mother tongue or simply asking a question in Welsh. I fought it was called Yahoo Uk and Ireland?. If so why is Irish breaking the Rules as well. How come speaking in my own language is breaking rules?. The ballad of the W.N all over again.
It's against mine and your human rights to be denied the opportunity to communicate and use your own and native language or any language in which you wish to use.
How can we change this because i don't know about you lot but i am not prepared to stand and be discriminated against for using my chosen language. They are racist fascist bigots.
