Abstract

This chapter discusses the significance of the Welsh Language Measure (WLM) of 2011 in the devolving Welsh political community as well as the wider UK. After an initial discussion of the institutions and mechanisms created by the WLM, the relationship between the official status of the Welsh language and future citizen expectation of Welsh language service provision is explored. The democratic nature of the WLM language standards regulatory mechanism is subsequently considered along with the appropriateness of the discourse of language rights linked to the standards. The chapter concludes with reflections on how these interlinking aspects of the WLM may in the future interact with evolving Welsh and broader UK constitutional debates.
