Llythyr ir Golygydd/Letter to the Editor

Syr/Sir
In response to Danny ap Nicholas's llythyr/letter of the 22/07/14 I thought I would reply in Wenglish so that we could all understand it. He wrote in English you see and that is not the indigenous language of Cymru/Wales. As a resident of Trelai/Ely in Caerdydd/Cardiff I wonder if Mr Nicholas sings the Welsh National Anthem/Yr Anthem Cenedlaethol Cymraeg at Match Days in the Prifddinas/Capital of Wales or is he like Max Boyce's family like a 'whole row of goldfish' mouthing the words. The Welsh Language is a Treasure/Trysor not a rhwystr/impediment. I didn't even know what that was in Welsh and had to look it up. There isn't even a Welsh Translation for the Western Mail and you yourself are the Papur Cenedlaethol Cymru! Every day there is a letter about the Welsh language, it is somewhat of a Taten Poeth/Hot Potato. Yesterday/Ddoe you decided  to promote Mr Nicholas letter to Rhif 1/No 1 which I think is really testament to the Western Mail's/No Welsh Translation available editorial policy! You have a 'Welsh Watch' in your supplement on Saturday as if it was some endangered species and indeed it will be if you continue to promote anti-welsh language sentiment through your letters page. Would it not be better to call a cadoediad/ceasefire and allow the language which was here before the Western Mail and Danny Nicholas of Ely. To quote the late Parchedig/Reverend Glyn James of Ferndale/Glynrhedyn, y Rhondda Fach/Little Rhondda. "Welsh was spoken across the continent of Europe whilst English was not even a scream in the forests of Germany". As the National Newspaper of Wales you have a duty to redress the balance in today's Cymru/Wales. I look forward to seeing my letter at Rhif 1/No 1 in tomorrow's Western Mail/ Post Gorllewinol?
