I am a native Welsh speaker and I often hear Irish complimenting us Welsh on how we preserved our language and what have you . Bt really doesn't Irish have more speakers than Welsh. The reason i say this is because around 1 600 000 people in Ireland said they could speak Irish to some extent. And only 750 000 in Wales said that they could speak read and write Welsh. I am confused. They say welsh is the most robust celtic language used by thousands but how is this if Irish has this many speakers?>

Diolch
go raibh math agat.

Do you think it's a good thing and a promising sign?

Btw i am a native welsh speaker and i have been sickened by the attitude of Non-welsh speakers who often moan about everything being bilingual and so forth .

What's you'r opinion!
