Welsh Language Act

The Welsh Language Act of 1993 is a law in Wales that recognizes Welsh as an official language alongside English. It requires public organizations, government departments, and services to treat both languages equally, offering correspondence, information, and services in Welsh and English. The Act aims to promote and facilitate the use of Welsh in daily life, ensuring that Welsh speakers have equal access to public services and enabling greater preservation and visibility of the language within Welsh society.
