Thanks very much

Shawnee, Welsh is a wonderful and separate language in its own right. There are many people for whom Welsh is their primary language and it sounds fantastically foreign to our ears. Road signs and Government forms in Wales are produced in both Welsh and English and sites like the DVLA (driving licences) and British Telecom have an option to read the website in Welsh.

One of our Big Brother contestants this year was Welsh and only started speaking English for the show. Another had to learn Welsh for a task and made herself unpopular by saying she would rather learn Klingon....
