English: Well, I don't agree with the final point that the leader of Plaid Cymru raised. I don't think that people in Wales will be willing to support the point that he made, and I think that the most important thing about the Welsh language is to maintain the support of people in Wales for everything that we're trying to do. We've succeeded in doing that. There is a strong feeling for the Welsh language in every part of Wales, and we want to use that goodwill that exists to continue to have more people learning Welsh and using Welsh, and so forth. The things that underpin the things that we've seen in the census are complex, and I think it's worth finding some time to consider what underpins what we've seen. We are seeing growth in the Welsh language here in Cardiff, in Rhondda Cynon Taf, in the Vale of Glamorgan and in Merthyr Tydfil as well. We see growth in the use of the Welsh language among young adults as well. Where the decline has been is among the three to 15 cohort. Why has that happened? Well, there are fewer young people in the whole of Wales in that age cohort. So, that's one thing to consider. The second thing is that we know that the census was conducted during the time of the pandemic. I remember time and again hearing people discussing the impact of the pandemic on young people in Welsh-medium schools when they were not attending school, and when they weren't hearing a word of Welsh when the schools were not open. So, there are a number of things underpinning these figures, and it's worth taking some time to consider what lies behind them. That's particularly the case, Llywydd, when you consider that some other sources of data show other things. Why are the figures in the census falling when the figures in the Office for National Statistics annual review of the population are going up every year? I don't understand that myself yet. There's a lot of work to be done. I had the opportunity, Llywydd, to speak with Sir Ian Diamond, who chairs the ONS, about this before the census figures were published. Things are more complex, I think, than what the leader of Plaid Cymru has suggested this afternoon. We need to find time to undertake this work and to return to this to see what the best responses are to continue to do what we want to do - to find a way to achieve a million Welsh speakers by 2050.
Welsh: Wel, dwi ddim yn cytuno â'r pwynt olaf y mae arweinydd Plaid Cymru yn ei godi. Dwi ddim yn meddwl y bydd pobl yng Nghymru yn fodlon i gefnogi'r pwynt y mae e'n ei wneud, a'r peth pwysicaf am yr iaith Gymraeg yw i gadw cefnogaeth pobl yng Nghymru i bopeth rŷm ni'n trio ei wneud. Rŷm ni wedi llwyddo i wneud hynny. Mae'r teimlad am yr iaith Gymraeg yn gryf dros ben ym mhob cwr o Gymru, ac rŷm ni eisiau defnyddio'r ewyllys da sydd yna i gario ymlaen i gael mwy o bobl i ddysgu Cymraeg, i ddefnyddio Cymraeg, ac yn y blaen. Mae pethau tu ôl i beth rŷm ni wedi gweld yn y cyfrifiad heddiw. Mae'n gymhleth, a dwi'n meddwl ei bod hi'n werth ffeindio amser i feddwl am beth sydd tu ôl i beth rŷm ni'n ei weld. Rŷm ni'n gweld twf yn yr iaith Gymraeg yma yng Nghaerdydd, yn Rhondda Cynon Taf, ym Mro Morgannwg ac ym Merthyr Tudful hefyd. Rŷm ni'n gweld twf mewn defnyddio'r iaith Gymraeg gydag oedolion ifanc hefyd. Ble mae'r cwymp wedi bod yw ymysg pobl tair i 15 oed. Pam mae hynny? Wel, mae llai o bobl ifanc yng Nghymru gyfan yn yr oedran yna. So, dyna un peth i feddwl amdano. Yr ail beth yw rŷm ni'n gwybod bod y cyfrifiad yn cael ei wneud yn ystod amser y pandemig. Dwi'n cofio dro ar ôl tro fan hyn pobl yn siarad am yr effaith roedd y pandemig wedi ei gael ar bobl ifanc mewn ysgolion trwy gyfrwng yr iaith Gymraeg pan doedden nhw ddim yn yr ysgol, a pan doedden nhw ddim yn clywed gair o Gymraeg pan doedd yr ysgolion ddim yn rhedeg. So, mae nifer o bethau tu ôl i'r ffigurau, ac mae'n werth i ni gymryd amser i ystyried beth sydd tu ôl iddyn nhw. Mae hwnna'n enwedig o bwysig, Llywydd, pan fo rhai ffynonellau data eraill yn dangos rhywbeth arall i ni. Pam fod ffigurau yn y cyfrifiad yn mynd i lawr pan fo ffigurau arolwg blynyddol o boblogaeth y Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol yn mynd lan bob blwyddyn? Dwi ddim yn deall hwnna eto. Mae lot o waith i'w wneud. Fe ges i'r cyfle, Llywydd, i siarad gyda Syr Ian Diamond, sy'n cadeirio'r ONS, am hwn cyn bod ffigurau'r cyfrifiad yn dod mas. Mae pethau'n fwy cymhleth, dwi'n meddwl, nag oedd arweinydd Plaid Cymru wedi awgrymu y prynhawn yma. Well i ni ffeindio'r amser i wneud y gwaith a dod nôl i weld beth yw'r ymatebion gorau i gario ymlaen i wneud beth rŷm ni eisiau ei wneud - i ffeindio'r ffordd i gael miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050.
