The Assembly Government has 'broken its promises' and is trying to 'mislead the public' over its language law plans, the Welsh Language Society has claimed in an official complaint to the First Minister.In a letter to Carwyn Jones, the campaigners will say the government was 'extremely misleading' in its statements about the language measure last Thursday. The group claim that the Assembly Government has misled the public by claiming that the measure leads to rights to bilingual services and gives Welsh official status.In the coalition agreement between Labour and Plaid Cymru the two parties promised to confirm "official status for both Welsh and English" and establish "linguistic rights", but the failure to deliver on its commitments to the people of Wales has enraged the society's members.The group has also launched a petition at http://deiseb.cymdeithas.org which calls on the government to honour its promises.Speaking following a review by Cymdeithas yr Iaith (The Welsh Language Society) of the plans, the society's Chair Menna Machreth said:"Our members are very angry with this coalition government because they've broken their promises and tried to mislead the public. We understand that legal specialists have already started to express concerns about it. There are no rights in their plans and Welsh isn't given official status - they made two clear promises and they plan to break them. In fact, the only right in this law is a right for big companies and organisations to challenge any request for Welsh language services. Rights for business, but not for people. It's a complete disgrace. "

"Their plans are a trick - they say that standards mean rights, legally that's completely wrong..They've been extremely misleading. Their language commissioner will not be independent, it'll be under the thumb of the government of the day. These massive holes in the law, as well as their broken promises, mean that we could actually be in a worse position than under the existing law."The group will soon publish a list of the law's weaknesses and ideas for improvements and will campaign strongly against the government plans, including establishing their own Language Commissioner.Menna Machreth Jones added:"We're disillusioned, but we will fight on. Even if this Labour-Plaid government isn't willing to deliver, we're clear - we'll keep campaigning for a bright future for the Welsh language."
