Ĉu la Leĝo Povas Savi la Kimran Lingvon?


…de la Daily Post:

Martin Luther King Jnr said: "It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important."

The Welsh Assembly Government now wants the power to make laws to promote the Welsh language, partly to extend a responsibility on those in the private sector who provide pubic services to do so in Welsh as well as English.

It would bestow equality on the two languages of Welsh and English, offering Welsh speakers the freedom to speak the language, with those rights safeguarded by a Language Commissioner.

Whether these laws will prove more successful in protecting the language remains to be seen.
