The Way to an Independent and Prosperous Wales

I speak fluent Welsh but I'm not from one of the "Welshie" areas of Cardiff (Pontcanna) and I think that some of the blame for the lack of Welsh speakers can be laid at the door at some Welsh speakers who have an elitist attitude to wards the language and that discourages people from learning and using the language

I'd have guessed that Pontcanna was a buttie area
Welsh is quite often heard in the Three Arches, I have lived in my current house for 25 years and have always had a Welsh speaking neighbor, on occasions both sides have been fluent Welsh.

Could be. And another barrier may be that it's impossible to find a Welsh speaker who doesn't speak English - whereas one can usually find somewhere in other countries where our basic grasp of the language is the only medium of communication, which helps.
