Reviews

[Aled Owen-Thomas]

The parts of the book related to the current state of the language are outdated now owing to the book having been published more than 20 years ago but there's plenty of very interesting information contained within, even including the outdated stuff.

This is an excellent and highly readable account of the history of the Welsh language. The 1993 edition I read has recently been brought up to date by the revised edition published in 2014. I therefore felt frustrated not to be able to read about the effect that devolution and the Internet and social networking revolutions have had on the language, issues which are hopefully addressed in the new edition.

I read both editions. They are pretty same, of course the later one has more recent data.
