“Dead language”
Dude it doesn’t count if you’re literally killing the language on purpose
Yup. Wish my Welsh grandfather could’ve lived to see this.
It’s also not a dead language by any stretch of the imagination. Even latin isn’t technically a dead language since it is still used.
Imperialists calling something dead is often just wishful thinking.
“Just seen”
“Just saw” is accepted shorthand for “I/we just saw…” “I have seen…” is acceptable if you’re saying that you’ve watched a movie 27 times.
Even substituting in “I just have seen” in the OP doesn’t make grammatical sense to me.
The guy should probably worry more about his own English than other people’s Welsh.
dead language
If people learn it, and people use it, it is by definition not a dead language.
This is some colonialist BS.
Also, over half a million Welsh speakers exist in Wales, accounting for roughly 20% of the population. It’s hardly dead.
Also, isn’t Welsh the Celtic language with the most native speakers?
Well Latin is a dead language, people do learn and use it. But there is no new words, or evolution of the language.
Proposal:
Force the English to learn Welsh and rename the English language to American
🇬🇧 English (Traditional)
🇺🇲 English (Simplified)
It’s funny because it’s backwards (verbally, spelling is it’s own thing)
