Welsh language on 11:36 - Jun 3 with 2335 views | AguycalledJack | Living in Carmarthen (not the valleys) plenty of welsh speakers. Wife is first language welsh. As I see it the language is so old that a lot of modern day life is not translatable as there is no welsh word for some things. I speak a form of what i term as pidgin welsh, ie first language is English but have stock phrases that get me by and that I use with my 3 year old. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Welsh language on 13:58 - Jun 3 with 2292 views | Scotia | As someone who has to get all of my work letters translated in to Welsh and answer my phone in Welsh. I would say no, as I don't think I've continued correspondance in Welsh. There are some first language Welsh speakers around but they only really speak and not read and write in Welsh. I cover all of South Wales - from Monmouthshire to Pembs, it is very different further North. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

My daughter will be first language welsh. That said with an all Welsh speaking family on one side and all English speaking the other she is already bilingual. [Post edited 4 Jun 2021 8:39]

Welsh language on 09:53 - Jun 4 with 2039 views | majorraglan | Swansea Valley and the Amman Valley have sizeable numbers of Welsh speakers. I live further West in Carmarthen area and there is a lot of Welsh down this way. I was passing a pub in town on Sunday and could hear 4 young boys sitting on a bench having a pint all speaking Welsh, it was good to hear. I went to the Welsh school by Port Talbot and am fluent. I use Welsh in work everyday, my kids are also fluent having been educated through the medium of Welsh. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
