Thank you for those questions—a variety of questions, a great many questions—and thank you for all the research that you’ve done on this issue. Unfortunately, UNESCO hasn’t given us any funding; indeed, we have to contribute to the pot in order to be part of this. And what’s happened is that Wales Arts International has given £50,000 for us to be able to do some of the actions and the projects that we hope to carry out during the year. So, there are some projects; I've mentioned the one in Bethesda already, and we hope to focus on another one before the end of the year. So, there are things happening, but, of course, there's always a shortage of funding. But I do see this as an opportunity to launch and ensure that people around the world know about this.

You've also mentioned whether we are in a good position or not as a country, and how confident we are and where we are linguistically. Well, recently, I listened to a man singing in Bethesda—only 100 people in the world speak his language, and, when you consider how fragile some of these other languages are, I do think that we do have something to offer. So, I think that this is an opportunity for us to give something back to the world, and that's what's important to me—that we can offer something to the world and that we have had a resurgence and that we are very keen to see this move towards 1 million Welsh speakers. But that isn't something that many other places believe is possible. The fact that we are taking action to deliver on that—well, I hope that that's something we can share with the world.

In terms of welcoming people to Wales, I do think it's important that we want to see Welsh being inclusive and that people can be involved with the language. We have immersion centres for people who come into the country to ensure that they can be involved with learning the language, and we have had projects to target some areas, especially where there are people from the BAME community, and there's a new school in the bay, of course, and in Newport; there is a lot of work that's being done in those two areas in particular.

We haven't considered doing sign language during this year, but what is important, I think, in terms of the technology action plan, is that people do understand that they have an opportunity to help us with the development of Welsh language technology, and it is important that people take advantage of the fact that they can have their voice heard, because we have to build a portfolio of people speaking so that we can use technology where you speak into a machine and people understand what you're saying and they can reply to you. And that's more complex where there is a minority language.

And the fact that we are a bilingual nation is unique, and I'm also concerned about modern languages in the curriculum, but I know that Kirsty is considering that, and that global responsibility is a central part of this new scheme.
