Comisiynydd y Gymraeg (The Welsh Language Commissioner) works to promote and facilitate the use of the Welsh language. By doing so we are contributing to realising our vision of a Wales where people can live their life in Welsh. In actively promoting and facilitating the use of the Welsh language, the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 states that we must focus on increasing Welsh medium services and their use, and other opportunities for people to use the Welsh language. The Measure allows us to do a number of things to promote and facilitate the use of the Welsh language, including the imposition and enforcement of duties through the Welsh language standards.
