Welsh Language. The Welsh language is a living language across our ten rural towns and our communities and is a fundamental part of many of our businesses, not only in the workplace but while creating products and providing services. It’s an integral part of the business offer. According to the Welsh Language Commissioner’s research paper, ‘Welsh in the shopping basket’, 68% of consumers like seeing the use of the language within business. The language is seen as a viable service that can be of advantage to local businesses. Carmarthenshire County Council also holds a statutory responsibility to provide services and promote the Language through the Welsh language Standards. We must provide opportunities for persons to use the Welsh language and ensure that the Language is treated no less favourably than the English language. Responsibilities also include bilingual information, marketing, and internal /external signage. Further information on the Standards can be viewed here: The Welsh language StandardsCarmarthenshire County Council have prepared a ‘Welsh language in Business’ guide, in partnership with the Welsh Government and the Welsh Language Commissioner’s Office. The guide offers practical support and guidance and also signposts to local organisations:
