Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg have declared their dissapointment regarding the amount of consideration given to the Welsh Language within a Assembly Government's consultation paper regarding sustainablity within Wales. The paper, that aims to adopt reasonable tactics that will pave the way for a sutainable Wales has been through a process of consultation since the end of 2008. At the moment there exist only a rushed clause at the end of the paper that considers the Welsh Language as an intrinsic part of the vision of a sustainable country for the future.

According to Sioned Haf, Campaigns Officer for Cymdeithas yr Iaith:“It is a great dissapointment to see how insignificant the clause on the Welsh Language is as the governmetns consideration towards creating a scheme to develop the sutainability of Wales.”“It is obvious from reading this paper, that the Welsh Language is merely an after-thought rather than being a central element of sustainability in Wales. Cymdeithas yr Iaith are genuinely supportive of any initative by the Welsh Assembly Government to guide Wales towards a sustainable, green and healthy future. However, it is a concern that the role of the Welsh Language, communities and culture are not elements considered an intrinsic part naturally bound with sustainability. ”
