    Well I'll be damned if I'm going to type out an essay for you, just for you to take sentence out of it and nitpick it.

    Lets see how we get on with the first point in my statement regarding the repression of the Welsh language (which I suspect you must already know about but are just looking for something to nitpick)

    Here's a link that sums up a shameful part of history that should never be forgotten: The punishment of The Welsh Not - http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/history/s...ducation.shtml

    Once you've read that, please feel free to come back and nitpick it in some way.

    Already replied. "according to historian John Davies, it is unlikely that the use of the Welsh Not was as widespread as the mythology of the 20th century maintains."

    Well at least you can see that it was used.

    Welsh was also removed by law as a language of administration by Henry the 8th so the people of Wales were forced to use English if they wanted to get anything done.

    If these are not examples of the repression of the Welsh language then I don't know what to tell you.
