I'd certainly disagree in the case of Welsh. The official promotion of
it in schools means a generation of Welsh kids is growing up speaking
it as well as they do English.
And yet despite the amounts spent most well default to English. Remove
the props and welsh would have only very limited use within a couple
of decades.
