Watch Your Audience Grow

Vaughan Roderick  - BBC Cymru Wales Welsh Affairs Editor and noted blogger - has just returned from holiday and he made two interesting points about indigenous languages:

1. he heard ads in Malaysia urging people to speak their own language. The ads were in English!

2. he commended a museum in Melbourne for having more Welsh in its interactive displays than London museums.

Fascinating to hear about Welsh displays in Melbourne. Is it right that there’s so little Welsh in  the UK’s National Museums?

Here’s a link to Vaughan’s post in Welsh:
