I don't see how not doing the healing work for the wound is the same as self inflicted.
And the wounds, while similar, are much older in the case of Welsh which means it could be harder to organize people to do the healing work.
It's very odd to me that you think this is self inflicted and that people aren't doing the healing work. Why are you so sure? I'm assuming you've looked into it.
Why do you think I'm sure? Do questions assert certainty?
You write as if you know what happened and why Welsh is dying out. Answer the questions then instead of whatever moral grandstanding you're doing.
If you are going to put forward the thesis that a language’s decline is 'self-inflicted,' the responsibility lies with you to substantiate that claim with evidence, not to demand that I act as your research assistant. I have no obligation to answer your questions until you have demonstrated a genuine willingness to engage with the historical realities already presented.
So you don't know what you're talking about any more than I do and there is nothing I can learn from you. Why didn't you say so in the first place instead of wasting my time?
