“We are not in favour of revitalising Cymraeg as the national language of Wales out of abstract affection for the language, but as a revolutionary strategy to decouple from Anglo-American hegemony and build a new society with our own language, an indigenous means of intellectual and community production at its core.

Our commitment to the re-establishment of Cymraeg as the primary language of Wales stems from our commitment to Welsh sovereignty; economic, political and intellectual.” – excerpt from ‘The National Language’, soon to be released
