Story of Welsh with Huw Edwards - On the Brink

Logo for Story of Welsh with Huw Edwards - On the Brink

Huw Edwards traces the history of one of Europe's oldest languages. He discusses the problems created by the loss of Welsh speakers in the First World War, economic depression and emigration. English was the language of the movies, the newspapers, socialism and the future, so campaigns were mounted to save the language.
