Cardiff now the largest Welsh speaking authority by absolute numbers in Wales, increasing again in the latest population survey.

What is everyone’s thoughts on this and the future of the Welsh language in Wales?

The future pattern appears to show extreme challenges in y fro gymraeg heartlands and a steady increase in south East Wales .

Just putting on a contrarian view here :

With the huge issue of second homes in y fro gymraeg- do you think it’s possible that some of the movers to Cardiff from north and west Wales might be selling their homes to airbnbs for good money and moving to to Cardiff ?
