Tony, please see my comments on my wall to avoid me repeating myself. Most Welsh speakers in Wales today are bilingual. But that was not always the case, especially not in the far north and far west. Actually there WAS a movement to force people, especially school children to stop speaking Welsh and talk English instead. As we're all so fond of Wikis why not look up the "Welsh Not" and the "Treachery of the Blue Books". TBH some of this stuff isn't that well known in Wales anymore, so I don't expect an English/American person to be aware of it. But sometimes being aware that you DON'T know a lot about a subject is the first step to accepting that their other points of view that have validity of their own.
