Vision

A million Welsh speakers by 2050

The year 2050: The Welsh language is thriving, the number of
speakers has reached a million, and it is used in every aspect of life.
Among those who do not speak Welsh there is goodwill and a sense
of ownership towards the language and a recognition by all of its
contribution to the culture, society and economy of Wales.

Realising the vision

The challenge of achieving a million Welsh speakers by 2050 calls for far-reaching changes.
Boundaries need to be pushed and ambitious action taken to enable more people to learn and
use Welsh. This strategy builds on existing foundations and moves us on to the next stage in
our language journey. We have identified three strategic themes to achieve this vision.

1. Increasing the number of Welsh speakers

2. Increasing the use of Welsh

3. Creating favourable conditions – infrastructure and context

In order to realise the vision, we will need to take action under the three themes and also
understand the interdependencies between them.
