The percentage of people able to speak Welsh is the lowest recorded in over eight years at 27.7%, government statistics indicate.

There were around 851,700 Welsh speakers in Wales in the year ending 30 September 2024, according to the annual population survey – around 1.6% lower than the previous year.

The Welsh government said it was “absolutely committed to our goal of having one million Welsh speakers and doubling the daily use of Welsh.”

The target of achieving a million Welsh speakers by 2050 is measured using census data rather than this yearly survey.
