Gwlad! The Millennium Stadium has sung its heart out over the past few weeks, with Welsh players and fans perfectly reciting their national anthem. However, the literal meaning behind these words probably resonates more with the bilingual fans who travelled from Colwyn Bay than those walking from Cardiff. Wales is a nation full of flag wavers, yet beneath the sea of red lies a crisis within a language that has been the heart of the country since the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n<p>For Bethan Williams, the drive to keep her mother tongue from extinction is an everyday battle. As the chair of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (the Welsh Language Society), she spearheads a cause that has been campaigning for Welsh rights since its inception in 1962.<\/p>\n<p>As the organisation celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, all eyes are on Bethan to lead a movement that has given rise to the implementation of a Welsh language TV station, radio station, and the introduction of the Welsh Language Act in 1993, as well as significant developments in bilingual education and road signs. Faced by the challenge of an apathetic nation, she announced earlier this year the group would have to change \u201cradically\u201d if they wanted to ensure that Welsh is a living language used day to day.<\/p>\n<p>Until the mid-1800s, more than 80% of people in Wales could speak Welsh. In the early 1960s, poet, historian and political activist Saunders Lewis warned of the death of the Welsh language by the 21st century, and while things haven\u2019t reached to that extent, in 2001 only 20% of the population claimed to be fluent speakers. Now, the numbers of deaths and people moving from the country are outpacing adult learners and children learning or raised in Welsh.<\/p>\n<p>While the strong, singsong tone of Bethan\u2019s voice is far from a revelation, you wouldn\u2019t expect such a fresh face in charge of safeguarding one of the oldest languages in the world. It\u2019s difficult not to be drawn to her exuberant spirit, embodied in her youthful looks; you\u2019d be forgiven for thinking she was younger than her 25 years. Despite running a pressure group that is twice her age, she seems relatively unfazed by the task. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of responsibility but you\u2019re not alone,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>The Welsh television institution S4C was only in its early days when Bethan was born, following a hard-fought campaign for a Welsh language radio and television service throughout the 1970s. Brought up in Eglwyswrw, a small village in Pembrokeshire home to only 732, she still resides there today. \u201cI\u2019ve always lived there,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s a very Welsh area; the majority of what happens is through the medium of Welsh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Growing up, Welsh was the language of her household. \u201cI don\u2019t think my parents would have ever dreamt of speaking any other language with us as kids,\u201d she recalls. Although national culture was at the forefront of her upbringing, Bethan hasn\u2019t always set her sights on heading one of the country\u2019s biggest campaign organisations. \u201cI wanted to be a Welsh teacher for a long time,\u201d she recalls. \u201cIn my mind my future was always going to be in Welsh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cause she would end up dedicating herself to caught her attention through her nearby town of Cardigan. \u201cIt used to be well known as a Welsh-speaking town,\u201d she recalls. \u201cIf you go back a couple of years, there definitely would\u2019ve been more people speaking Welsh outside of school. You notice when you\u2019re out on the streets you won\u2019t hear as much Welsh, and that\u2019s a trend that\u2019s carried on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although already a member of Cymdeithas, it wasn\u2019t until Bethan studied at Bangor University that she developed an active role when community development officers noticed her appetite to help. After attending rallies and protests, she ran the Welsh Language Rights division where her work campaigning for the Welsh Language Measure saw her climb to the top of the group. On her way up, she gained the respect of members like Heledd Melangell, who says Bethan was instrumental in getting the law declaring Welsh an official language passed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though Bethan is chair, she\u2019s not a boss,\u201d she says. \u201cCymdeithas is a discussion with everyone. We all have equal roles and Bethan is always keen to hear everyone\u2019s views.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Listening to a whole host of opinions means putting herself up for public debate, and the resistance the group often encounters has made the struggle a difficult one at times. \u201cThere\u2019s a mixed reaction everywhere you go. We constantly get that view of \u2018Haven\u2019t you got anything better to do? Go get a job and do something better with your time.\u2019\u201d Bethan says.<\/p>\n<p>While her passions lie also with human rights and environmentalism, she says there\u2019s a lot that needs to be done closer to home. \u201cThere\u2019s so much on your doorstep that needs to be changed, you almost have to start off at your feet and build it up,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<p>Despite making huge leaps in bilingual education &#8211; Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol, the first Welsh-language college was opened last year &#8211; many community schools are currently under the threat of closure. Last year, an activist from Cymeithas went without food and water for 50 hours to save a Gwynedd school because 91% of its community were Welsh speakers. \u201cYou\u2019ve got something massive like S4C to something small like communities but it means so much to them,\u201d she says. \u201cThere are so many different achievements that are significant to different people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group\u2019s campaigning reached new heights last September after Bethan was removed from Parliament. \u201cYeah, that was quite different to the Assembly,\u201d she laughs. As the result of a vote to cut funding for Welsh language television was announced, she shouted from the public gallery, \u201cMae hyn yn sarhad ar bobl Cymru!\u201d meaning \u201cThis is an insult to the people of Wales!\u201d \u201cThere were so many people calling on Jeremy Hunt to just listen,\u201d she says, clearly still affected. \u201cHe wasn&#8217;t meeting with anyone from Wales so it was just a feeling that we really had to do something. We do things to draw attention to the cause.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Plaid Cymru MEP for Wales, Jill Evans, who has worked with Bethan on a number of campaigns, most notably during a campaign to save S4C where she was fined \u00a3575 for refusing to pay her TV licence, says the group\u2019s commitment to the language is inspiring. \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for them, I don\u2019t believe the Welsh language would be in the position it\u2019s in now,\u201d she says. \u201cTheir commitment and enthusiasm ensures that these issues are not going to go away and will remain high on the political agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As her position is voluntary, by day she works for Plaid Cymru AM Simon Thomas and by night she goes home to head one of Britain&#8217;s largest protest groups. \u201cCampaigning is never 9 to 5,\u201d she says. \u201cPeople have day jobs so you phone people late at night, you go to meetings late at night, so it\u2019s hard to switch off. You\u2019re always thinking of the next step.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next step for Cymdeithas will see them embark on a tour of communities to mark their half-century year. For them, the biggest threat the language now faces is at a community level, after the last census showed a dramatic decline in the number of places where more than 70% of the population speak Welsh \u2013 from 92 in 1991 to 54 in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>In consideration of what the next manifesto might say, she stops to recall the group\u2019s history, and pauses in thought. \u201cHopefully we\u2019ll have the next 10 years of really concentrating on communities and building them up,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>As far as she\u2019s concerned, her future is definitely with the group. \u201cAt the minute, I can\u2019t see a time where I wouldn\u2019t be a part of it. There\u2019s so much to do and I think we\u2019ve all got a contribution to make,\u201d she says. \u201cI know that what we do does help people in Wales in their communities and that really makes a difference. When you can see the change as well it really drives you forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Welsh language continues to lose thousands of fluent speakers a year, one 25-year-old leads the fight to keep it alive Gwlad!
