Yr Iaith Gymraeg

The Welsh language, although one of the oldest surviving languages in Europe, is still very much alive and healthy. This celtic language is spoken by around 70% of the inhabitants of North-West Wales, so don't be suprised if you hear it spoken - you are not being talked about, people are just going about their everyday business!
