Elizabeth Pyatt: Celtic Language Progress

[Elizabeth J. Pyatt]

I thought I would pass along some news which shows positive progress
for Celtic.

In Ireland, the Gaeltacht street signs are switching to Irish only.

 From a few weeks ago, the following stories about Welsh came out.

After a successful "Mae'r Gymraeg?" (Where's the Welsh) by the
Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg, Burger King has announced that the
Aberystwyth Wales  Burger King WILL have bilingual menus

The live Disney "Winnie the Pooh" performance in Cardiff will contain
a few Welsh phrases since about 40% of preschoolers are Welsh speakers
