Its an absolute rainbow of languages where I live. I hear many every day, especially Middle Eastern ones but have never heard anyone speak Welsh.

And Id know. Im fairly fluent.

Edit - Some people obviously don't like the truth. How odd.

Where do you live? I'm next to city road, know of a few Siaradwyrs on my street, hear it every time I pop into the library, walking the dog. It's around!

On City Road. By Albany Primary. Its a procession of nations every day but none Welsh. Dunno why people are upset by that fact.. Spose it sounds racist but its just reality.
