This is an authoritative and thorough analysis of the fortunes of
the Welsh language in the most tumultuous period of its history.
Twenty-one chapters discuss not only the numerical and territorial
decline of Welsh but also its struggle for official recognition and
its role in a wide variety of social domains. Of all the memorable
phrases coined in the twentieth century, none has had greater
resonance for the Welsh speaker than 'Tynged yr Iaith' (The Fate of
the Language), and this volume provides a stimulating commentary on
the processes of linguistic change, decay and revival experienced
by the oldest spoken language in Britain. The fruit of the second
major research project of the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic
Studies of the University of Wales, this volume will interest and
intrigue the general public as well as specialists in the field and
help readers to familiarize themselves with the history of a
language which, over the centuries, has been an integral part of
the everyday life of the Welsh people and their sense of
nationhood.
