Developing bilingual societies
I'm a regular visitor of North Wales, Snowdonia to be precise and something that struck me is how widely spoken Welsh is by young people. I've come across full tables of them chatting away in Welsh and not one was out of its teens. There is maybe an element of "let's not have the bloody tourists understand us" but I doubt they would go to the palaver of speaking a language out of spite.
