Although around only 21.7% of Wales' population spoke Welsh in 2004, the number of Welsh speakers is steadily increasing. This is largely due to "The Welsh Language Act" of 1993 and also the "Government of Wales Act" of 1998, which both stated that Welsh and English should be treated equally.

Moreover in 2000, the teaching of Welsh became compulsory for all children up to 16 years of age, which has helped to stabilise what once seemed to be a declining language.
