History of the Welsh Language, Part 5

Welsh-language news publications and local papurau bro have proliferated. Lastly, cultural activities have helped to strengthen the presence of Welsh through organizations like the Eisteddfod, the Welsh Arts Council, and the Welsh Books Council. This explosion in Welsh-language media and culture has had a profound effect on the way Welsh is esteemed by both its speakers and the outside world. One thing is certain: The language is far from dead. May it continue to live and thrive.
