    The paper analyses the history, evolution, current situation and possible future of the Welsh language. Welsh is a minority language which has strived for many centuries to become a fully-fledged tool of communication throughout Wales. In the past, the dominant English language has been a great rival for Welsh. However, thanks to the significant efforts of linguists, to the Welsh nationalist movements and the inclusion of the Welsh language in the Welsh education system, Welsh is nowadays a formally-recognised language which can be used by anyone and in any situation. The practical part of the paper is based on questionnaires and describes contemporary opinions and attitudes to the Welsh language both from the point of view of the Welsh people as well as the general view of non-Welsh-speaking British citizens.
