funnily.. english isnt the only language in the UK (ok england maybe...) but welsh is still spoken in wales..
and america is a much more racially diverse country than the UK.. home of the english language.

wales r just a burden i'm strongly in favour of giving them a full independence, they only account for 2% of our economy but they recieve 4% of our tax revenues, most of them are too lazy to learn new skills since their industrial shit has been declining and they tryna claim benefits whilst still in work and won;t give up their dead language which leads to wasted money spent on making everything in 2 languages.
Don Seer:
their language isn't dead.. its still well spoken thoughout wales.. all the road signs are dual language.. you're misinformed :)
havent you been watching bb..? so the 2 welsh people chosen for bb who are both around the 20 mark speak fluent welsh.... that glynn says he speaks welsh all day and thinks in welsh (i've often heard that multi lingual people 'think' in the language they use the most).. and that he realises now his english isnt as good as he thought.. and him and imogen (the former miss wales) have been holding full on conversations in welsh..
Don Rizzle:
i know its not literally dead but like say latin, but it is irrelivant 99% of wales speak english anyway its just adds to beurocracy and wasted money

At least Welsh is their native language. In the US, we have immigrants moving here who expect everything in the language of the country they came from. In Los Angeles, they have to print ballots for voting in hundreds of foreign languages. That is complete bullshit.

The Spanish use to rule the South West, and Mexico has a treaty with the U.S. that Mexican people shall be able to speak Spanish in the South West, or what was Mexico. Also, Los Angeles is the second largest Spanish speaking city. Also, LA is were much of the world meets the U.S., translation, many countries trade to the U.S. using L.A. ports, and they ship their goods through there.
