they will function in English, just as the Dutch or Swedish are perfectly fluent in English as well as their own tongue

Promoting Welsh is a good way to prevent jihadis moving in - they don't want to learn Welsh

have you noticed that the "refugees" mostly want to go to English speaking countries?

It is a dying language and this will not change that.
