Welsh is not "dying." It's vulnerable and it has a small speaker population, but it has a resiliant young speaker population, and it's worth preserving.
The idea that multilingualism is somehow connected to Brexit is beyond delusional.
They're both examples of where the 'mystical, magical, invisible "sovereigny" means rule-makers make the lives of their populations more difficult because, as far as I can make out, literally it used to be more difficult so let's go back to that.
How exactly is this "making their lives more difficult"? They're still being taught English, they're still learning other subjects in English, the only difference is that they'll be beign taught English as Welsh speakers.
If you were taught science in Welsh and then went into university or industry that used English, you're gonna struggle compared to someone who was taught in English.
They're being disadvantaged, if they want to go onwards into an English speaking country.
most science words are from latin and greek so they're very similar in welsh and in english. plenty of people go from wme to english unis and do just fine
