As a toddler, I’d sit on dad’s lap as we worked through my picture book, labelling various objects and characters until we reached gwrach (witch), at which point I’d been trained to declare, ‘Mam!’
My family has the freedom to communicate in not one but two languages – English and Welsh. But I was shocked to learn last week that Welsh is still listed as a ‘foreign language’ on the UK Government’s website. Especially since Welsh is one of Britain’s oldest languages, derived from the ancient Brythonic and spoken long before the Roman occupation.
