This is not the latest release in the series: Îʶ¦ÓéÀÖ language data from the Annual Population Survey
This report presents the Annual Population Survey (APS) results on people’s ability to speak, read, write and understand spoken Îʶ¦ÓéÀÖ. It also presents the results for how often people speak Îʶ¦ÓéÀÖ.
The Census of Population is the key source used to measure the number of Îʶ¦ÓéÀÖ speakers in Wales.

Details about how the survey is developed and carried out can be found on the .
