Why don't Welsh speak English?

The official languages of Wales are English and Welsh. English is the language used by the vast majority of Welsh people, and it is also the main language in essence. Although only a few Welsh people speak Welsh except children, Wales is still a bilingual country in name. According to the 200 1 population survey, 20.5% people can talk in Welsh, and more people know a little about Welsh. The Welsh Language ActNo. 1993 and the Government of Wales ActNo. 1998 stipulate that Welsh and English should be treated equally. The Act also stipulates that public organizations should plan and implement Welsh language programs. Therefore, Welsh should be the official language of Welsh Parliament, local committees, police stations, fire departments and health departments. (such as letters from schools to parents, library materials, committee materials). In Wales, all road signs must be written in Welsh and English at the same time, and some place names that exist in English and Welsh should also be marked in two languages, such as Caerdydd and Cardiff. In the 20th century, a small group of people who can't speak English or Welsh immigrated to Wales, some of whom can speak Bengali and Cantonese. This phenomenon is almost unique in Welsh cities. The Italian government provides funds to support Italian descendants living in Wales to learn Italian.
