Language use
The trajectory gives us a picture of the potential route towards a million Welsh speakers by 2050.
Models like this, however, cannot give us a picture of the situation in terms of future language use.
While data on Welsh language ability is key, we will also need to ensure that evidence about
language use is collected and monitored as we implement the strategy. As previously noted, our
target is to increase the percentage of the population that speak Welsh daily, and can speak more than
just a few words of Welsh, from 10 per cent (in 2013–15) to 20 per cent by 2050.
Our starting point will be to use the Welsh Language Use Survey 2013–15 (Welsh Government
and Welsh Language Commissioner 2015) that presents a detailed picture of language use patterns
of adults and young people who are able to speak Welsh – how well they can speak the language,
how often, where, when and with whom they use it.
