1122515 2010-07-29 08:52:00 Years ago in the UK they went through the same exercise in Welsh -
Where the Welsh all that interested - not really.
They launched a Welsh Language only TV station - there are over 3 milion Welsh. Did the Welsh watch it in viable numbers? - not bloody likely - the programmes were slightly less interesting than watching paint dry.
Why cannot we learn from others mistakes?
If the indigenous populace don't want to support cultural efforts in their own language - don't waste the taxpayers money!

I'll bet Wales residents are more interested in their native language than NZ residents.

Of the few welsh people I have met, all of them have had at least a passing interest in the welsh language.

1122519 2010-07-30 02:41:00 Cicero, I could never sing as well as the Welsh crowd at Cardiff Arms. Go to YouTube and have a listen. It makes you go all goosebumpy. (About the only thing that does these days.) Richard (739)

Gwlad beirrd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Tros ryddid collasant eu gwa'd.

Come on Cicero! Sing up there, I can't hear you! :D

If I were to sing Richard,it wouldn't be in some foreign tongue.

I mean,who can pronounce such silly sounds?

I have listened to them sing and sing they can,are we to judge a people by it's singers,I think not Richard.
