The Welsh language belongs to all of us in Wales, whether we speak it ourselves or not. It offers an uniquely distinct and cost-effective stamp with which to make your products and services stand out, among locals and tourists alike. It offers provenance-led branding without the usual expense.

Statistics show that Welsh is an ever-growing language, with 20.8% of the population at the last census indicating they were proficient in its use, up from 18.7% ten years previously. 23.6% of the population indicated they could understand spoken Welsh.

And within the all-important 3-14 age group the figure rises to 37.2%, suggesting the national tongue has indeed a bright future. 43.8% of girls aged 5-15 could speak Welsh.

As of January 2009, according to Welsh Government statistics, 99.8% of primary school pupils and 99.1% of those in secondary schools in Wales were receiving tuition in Welsh as a first or second language.

Further research published in 2005 indicated that 80% of respondents appreciated the use of Welsh by the private sector, and that 73% were more likely to purchase goods or services from a business that made use of Welsh.

With recent legislation having seen the setting up of the post of a Language Commissioner to ensure both our national languages are treated equally in the provision of services, there’s never been a better time to look at your own use of both Welsh and English.

Why not grasp this often hidden gem of an opportunity to increase your share of the market, to embellish customer loyalty, and to provide your services with a highly distinctive branding advantage?
