“Dead language”
Dude it doesn’t count if you’re literally killing the language on purpose
Yup. Wish my Welsh grandfather could’ve lived to see this.
It’s also not a dead language by any stretch of the imagination. Even latin isn’t technically a dead language since it is still used.
Imperialists calling something dead is often just wishful thinking.
“Just seen”
“Just saw” is accepted shorthand for “I/we just saw…” “I have seen…” is acceptable if you’re saying that you’ve watched a movie 27 times.
Even substituting in “I just have seen” in the OP doesn’t make grammatical sense to me.
The guy should probably worry more about his own English than other people’s Welsh.
dead language
If people learn it, and people use it, it is by definition not a dead language.
This is some colonialist BS.
Also, isn’t Welsh the Celtic language with the most native speakers?
Also, over half a million Welsh speakers exist in Wales, accounting for roughly 20% of the population. It’s hardly dead.
Well Latin is a dead language, people do learn and use it. But there is no new words, or evolution of the language.
Proposal:
Force the English to learn Welsh and rename the English language to American
🇬🇧 English (Traditional)
🇺🇲 English (Simplified)
It’s funny because it’s backwards (verbally, spelling is it’s own thing)
Canada: throws chair
Yeah, let’s rename it to Canadian.
Edit: Be the change you want to see, tell your instance admin to run this SQL query:
UPDATE language SET name = 'Canadian' WHERE id = 37
Typical unionist. Adores the kingdom but hates all the different cultures inside of it.
“What a lovely forest, pity there’s trees in it.”
Man, what a knobhead. While I suspect that plenty of welsh voters voted to maintain the language, I bet that most of the votes are from non-brits who voted to maintain it just to piss this jackass off.
I love seeing prpaganda campains fail publicly
It’s always the chucklefuck who only speaks one language that wants to abolish “dead” languages.
Wel, shit
I wonder what the general kill count for languages that can be directly attributed to the english.
I mean, we fucked up the world for centuries so it’s gotta be pretty high. Would you blame Native Americans and indigenous Canadians losing their language on the English or the Americans/Canadians out of interest? We certainly got the ball rolling, but the new North Americans saw it through.
Bring back Cornish and the other minority languages too. Who knows, it might make the place more tolerant of other cultures.
EU used to provide almost all the funding for preserving, teaching and promotion of Cornish. After Brexit, Cornwall is now getting less than half the funding that EU would have provided.
