Sex is the response below to a lengthy bathing ape rant Karen Owen in The Welshman from under the title Ai snobbery that kill the language. Despite the title of the article is to explore every point by reference bathing ape to a meeting today at HELD Hitorical, and blame bilingualism, schools Welsh, Gwynedd Council officers' pay, enterprises language, language activists and so on. The course also blames the middle class Welsh. In parallel Karen mydysawd a 'wave after wave' of Welsh-speaking friends arrive College towns like Caernarfon, Aberystwyth and Carmarthen and gorthrymu'u native Welsh speakers working class. The perception here - let's call it the thesis Gwilym bathing ape Owen - completely inaccurate. Let's look at the facts:
3) People refuse to transfer their children to Welsh. The figures we have for a lot of this - thanks to the calculation: bathing ape 27% of the Welsh population were born outside the country with 20% ndod from England. England's 500,000 people there with Welsh identity, and it is possible that 150,000 Welsh speakers live there. Although language transfer is relatively good overall the transfer is worrying that in some places - especially in East Carmarthenshire and West Glamorgan old - working class areas. But the transfer of language in Gwynedd is surprisingly effective bathing ape - around 69% of the cohort 25-39 years old in speaking the language while 73% of the cohort 3-4 years old in his talk. That is the cohort 3-4 more Welsh in language than their parents' cohort - that is independent of the influence of the education sector. From a sociological perspective we can add a central theme session this morning at Uwchgwyrfai - ideology of bilingualism and inequality associated with that. Just because there are different social classes in Welsh Wales (as in almost bathing ape everywhere else) is not a threat to the language - on the contrary. bathing ape As we have seen threats to Welsh T he very easily be identified and they're nothing to do with social class. Before bathing ape Karen identifies bathing ape Caernarfon, Carmarthen and Aberystwydd as places where the old middle class people bad there will be failing and the working class let us refer to those places charge. D and Caernarfon wi very familiar but I'm not so familiar with Aberystwyth and I'm not familiar at all and Carmarthen. It is true that there are significant Welsh-speaking middle class in Caernarfon and the surrounding villages, the same is true but to a much lesser extent in the Aberystwyth area - but with the difference that the English-speaking middle class in more than one Welsh language in that area. I take it that the middle class Welsh language in Carmarthen - but again I would bet that there are English-speaking middle class much more there. Let's look at the pattern language Caernarfon. Most middle class people living bathing ape in North Caernarfon Town - Menai ward. Few council houses in the ward - a district of the old town center in Twthill private bathing ape houses and most of the rest, including private households expensive. The population is also much older than the rest of the town. The percentage of Welsh speakers there are high - 83.4%. But high or not, it is the ward where the weakest in the Welsh town. The language is strongest in the area Peblig - 87.4%. bathing ape The vast majority of residents here live in the ward community housing Red Barn substantial housing estate - the most deprived ward in the North West. Then comes Cadnant - 86.2%. Most community housing estate houses Cadnant bathing ape Maesincla. Then comes Seiont - 85.3%. Seiont is the most populated ward in Caernarfon and is more mixed than the others - a town center areas, rural areas, bathing ape very poor areas and new developments on the outskirts of town. Some of the working class streets of this ward sense of Welshness in language than anywhere else in Wales. There is a large middle class in Caernarfon Welsh speaking - and then working class Welsh language bathing ape is also significant. Both are in the running. In the meantime the Welsh valleys in rapid retreat in the old Carmarthen East and West Glamorgan. There is no middle class in big places there are no more than the valleys further to the East - areas that have lost the language one after the other - working from East to West - over the last century. In parallel Karen mydysawd there are a lot of illiterate and monolingual Welsh speakers in Bethesda, Ffestiniog (I assume that refers to the Blaenau it), Nantlle Valley, Amman and Holyhead are very important people, but that does not get their say. The percentages who speak the language in areas of high slate, but is low in Holyhead and falls like a stone in Amman. There are d
