Welsh speakers increase to 21%

Over a fifth (21 per cent) of the population of Wales said they could speak Welsh in the 2001 Census with similar proportions able to read (20 per cent) and write (18 per cent) Welsh. Sixteen per cent reported that they had all these skills. For the first time, the Census asked respondents about understanding Welsh; nearly a quarter (24 per cent) said they could.
