Obviously, but there's also the aspect of language and we can see this affects Brits as well: having the world Lingua Franca as your native language is NOT good for you!
In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps
I love how English uses so many synonyms of "vote" whereas #Welsh is just like eh...a vote is a vote

The best thing to come out of this ordeal is that I've been called a "popular" creator by news outlets and even the radio
Fair point. But hopefully things are looking up for other minorities as well, with more awareness being raised and more being done. We can only wait and see (and maybe advocate, I suppose haha). Suas leis a' Ghร idhlig
How naรฏve of me to think it's become easier just because they added an easy tick box to request a test...
I have been following @israellai.bsky.social 's journey to Learning Welsh. Now he wants to do the British Citizenship Test in Welsh, which seems to be quite difficult: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYFu...

Why did my brain just hear "darling hold my hand" and go "get more with Super Duolingo"

As long as they're not the ones tortured, enslaved or imprisoned....no of COURSE it'll never happen to them, they're too pale for that.
Every time I attempt to fill in a form from certain *ahem lloyds bank ahem* websites

Members of Welsh and Irish youth organisations have joined forces once again to break down language barriers through music and continue building relationships between both Celtic communities
Kinda interesting how Ryan Reynolds got Netflix to put Welsh subs on his random-ass films
But couldn't get Disney to put Welsh subs on his documentary about Wrexham

Unfortunately I don't speak a language that is very niche but still big enough for YouTube to support it, so it'll have to be Swedish.
I've decided to change the language of my YouTube account, so that hopefully they'll stop pushing the crap auto dubs on me.
If my language is niche enough, they probably don't have a dubbed track ready for me.
And it's not like they've started making changes to the bus routes (yet). It's the same routes that were there before the bee network was a thing.
arghhhh why is manchester such a bizarre part of the UK where I feel somewhat positive about the future?!
this place is a dump but it's also a weirdly nice dump
Couldn't they just keep the codepoint and (slowly) fix the fonts?
Having been in an academic community for the past decade, I can say that in terms of things like spelling, I trust the average non-native speaker a lot more than the average native speaker.
Bro just felt creative, didn't expect linguists and computer nerds in the future to squabble over his lil cute drawing
The crazy thing is not that they exist, but that they all MADE IT INTO UNICODE
