Description
Book SynopsisThe minority language and culture of Wales is under threat. Building on a computer analysis of the 1981 Welsh language Census data, the book provides evidence of a language moving slowly towards extinction. Each chapter examines an issue which is of significance in most minority language situations, but is exemplified in the Welsh context.
