What's to stop someone typing something really offensive in Welsh and putting an innocent English translation underneath?

English speaking Welsh man, the welsh language is a middle class thing, It's a way for them to think they better then everyone else in Wales shits the lot.

It isn't a very middle class thing in, for example, Caernarfon. In fact it is a very working class thing.

Absolute bollocks. Virtually everybody in Caernarfron speaks Welsh, and the coffis have their own dialect with a wide (and obviously working class in origin) slang vocabulary not well known outside of Caernarfon. It is an overwhelmingly working class town. You are bullshitting. You go knock the doors of the many council houses in that town and see what language they answer it in.

 

[Red Paul]

You are wrong and offensive.

Musta changed since I was last there then. Caernarfon was one of the strongest welsh speaking areas in Wales, in line with most of the north.

What the fuck are you on about? Or are you saying that almost everyone in Caernarfon is middle class?

Demographically the population of Caernarfon is the most Welsh-speaking community in all of Wales. 86.1% of the population could speak the Welsh language in the United Kingdom Census 2001, with the largest majority of Welsh speakers in the 10-14 age group, where 97.7% could speak it fluently. The town is nowadays a rallying-point for the Welsh nationalist cause. Its population, with nearby Y Felinheli and Penygroes is about 14,000.

Not only is Caernarfon overwhelmingly Welsh speaking, it is also a very working class community. Bangor, right next door, is a bit posher, and ironically English is far, far more widely spoken.
