Welsh is Better for You than English

From Nation Cymru:

We hear a lot about why Welsh should move aside and allow English to take over. But why should it? The Welsh language is vastly superior to English, as we will now demonstrate! And, in fact, we think the English would be much better off cognitively, financially and intellectually if they cast off the yoke of their own dismal tongue and embraced the ancient Celtic language of Britain.

1.) English doesn’t have enough vowels

Welsh has seven vowels, A, E, I, O, U, W, and Y. The W is sounded like ‘oo’ in English and Y as ‘uh’. English, however, has only five vowels, A, E, I, O and U.

2.) Spelling in English doesn’t make any sense

Spelling in Welsh is entirely phonetic. You spell everything exactly as you say it. Easy. The spelling system in English, however, is a total nightmare. So much so that most people who have spoken the language all their lives make sbeling mistaces all the tyme.

3.) The same words have different meanings

In Welsh, every word has one meaning. One. So when you use a word, people actually know what the hell you’re on about. This is how communication should work. Not in English, though.

4.) Bilingual signs are a danger to us all

For no apparent reason apart from to appease those too bone idle to learn how to pronounce things in Welsh, the country is full of bilingual place-name road signs. Most of these are a complete waste of money because they at most change one or two letters in a place name. Merthyr Tudful becomes Merthyr Tydfil – why?

5.) English, as you speak it now, is a dying language

As English spreads around the world as a second language, what we speak today will soon become a thing of the past. It is already being de-standardised and is losing ground to American English in the world of computing and business.

6.) Speaking English isn’t good for you

It’s estimated that over 95% of the population of Britain are monolingual English speakers. This is unnatural. Most people in the world – 60 to 75% by some estimates – speak more than one language. The brain evolved in a world before linguistic uniformity to be able to deal with different tongues, and speaking just one isn’t good for it.
