Wel, shit
Man, what a knobhead. While I suspect that plenty of welsh voters voted to maintain the language, I bet that most of the votes are from non-brits who voted to maintain it just to piss this jackass off.
“Dead language”
Dude it doesn’t count if you’re literally killing the language on purpose
dead language
If people learn it, and people use it, it is by definition not a dead language.
This is some colonialist BS.
I wonder what the general kill count for languages that can be directly attributed to the english.
I mean, we fucked up the world for centuries so it’s gotta be pretty high. Would you blame Native Americans and indigenous Canadians losing their language on the English or the Americans/Canadians out of interest? We certainly got the ball rolling, but the new North Americans saw it through.
Bring back Cornish and the other minority languages too. Who knows, it might make the place more tolerant of other cultures.
EU used to provide almost all the funding for preserving, teaching and promotion of Cornish. After Brexit, Cornwall is now getting less than half the funding that EU would have provided.
