    dead language

    If people learn it, and people use it, it is by definition not a dead language.

    This is some colonialist BS.

      Also, over half a million Welsh speakers exist in Wales, accounting for roughly 20% of the population. It’s hardly dead.

      Also, isn’t Welsh the Celtic language with the most native speakers?

      Well Latin is a dead language, people do learn and use it. But there is no new words, or evolution of the language.
