The Welsh Language Act

The Welsh Language Act 1993 is a law that established the Welsh language's official status alongside English in Wales. It requires public authorities in Wales to treat both languages equally, ensuring that Welsh speakers have access to services and information in Welsh. The Act also led to the creation of the Welsh Language Board, which promotes the use of Welsh and supports its development. Overall, the Act aimed to protect and promote the Welsh language, reflecting its cultural significance and the rights of Welsh speakers.
