Welsh Language Translation
The highest percentage of Welsh speakers can be found in the rural areas of Snowdonia, Anglesey and Carmarthenshire. There is also a Welsh speaking colony in the Chubut region of Patagonia, Argentina.
In 2000 the teaching of Welsh became compulsory to all school children up to the age of 16. This has helped reverse the decline in the language with around 21% of the Welsh population now speaking Welsh compared to 18% in 1991.
Welsh in the Public Sector
Since the Welsh Language Act was passed by the UK government in 1993, the Welsh and English languages have to be used equally by public sector bodies in Wales. This means public sector organisations are required to provide their literature in both Welsh and English wherever possible.
