Embracing the Welsh Language
The Welsh language, or Cymraeg, is deeply woven into the cultural fabric of Wales. Despite facing suppression during the Industrial Revolution, when children were punished for speaking it in schools, Welsh has endured and thrived. It wasn’t until 1993 that Welsh gained official status, and today, in regions like Eryri, more than half the population speaks it fluently.
Diolch am wrando. (Thank you for listening.)
How to Order in Welsh
At Y Waypoint, we celebrate the rich heritage of the Welsh language. Here’s a guide to help you order food in Welsh:
The Welsh language is an inherent part of the country’s cultural fabric, and its continued resilience remains hard-won against a campaign of active suppression that stretched into the early 1900s. Welsh was banned in schools across Wales for the length of the Industrial Revolution, with widespread incidence of children made to wear a “Welsh Not” – a wooden sign hung around the neck as a punishment for speaking Welsh.
