However, in Welsh area where Welsh is the official language, less than a quarter of the people could speak it. In general, people outside of the UK hardly know the presence of the language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cIn order for the language to thrive it&#8217;s crucial that we increase the number of speakers and opportunities to use the language, so we campaign to ensure that everyone can learn, use and enjoy the language in their daily lives,\u201d&nbsp;said Mabli Jones, the Chair of Cymdeithas yr Iaith, the Welsh language society in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welsh language is an antique language which have been existed from more than 1600 years ago until now, but it is gradually vanishing because of the domination of English language in UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welsh language society is a group which is campaigning for the right of Welsh people to speak Welsh in every aspect of their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mabli and fellow campaigners are  originally calling for the target of a million Welsh speakers by 2050 in order to save the language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were pleased to see the last Government adopt this target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"410\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\"
