English: Yes, it is a problem with minority languages across the world. It's something that is a feature of minority languages everywhere. One interesting thing that we've seen happening, and this has happened in Canada during in last few months, was an acknowledgement within the health and social care sector that people felt uncomfortable or embarrassed to use an indigenous language in using services, and seeing that it was not placing an emphasis on the user that was needed, but placing pressure on the organisation - the proactive offer. And a lot of discussion has been ongoing in Canada about the proactive offer. But what they've done is take that a further step and provide statutory instructions now for professionals in the health and social care sector in Canada on how to communicate with users in a minority language. And that has done two things: namely, it's taken the pressure off the user and placed statutory pressure on the professional. That is part of their qualifications in these professional fields of health and social care. That, I think, is an extremely positive step forward, in taking pressure away but also making it a professional duty on an individual that works in the health and social care field to be able to communicate and know how to communicate with people who, perhaps, are unsure. So, that is something, if I were to remain in this post, I would certainly have great interest in looking at: how to weave that into professional qualifications in various areas in Wales and placing it on a statutory basis. Canada has done so now, and has moved it from being in draft to statutory during these last three weeks. So, therefore, that has been an eye-opener. That, I think - moving it from the individual to the organisation, but also the statutory recognition of the needs in the professional area - is all-important.
Welsh: Ydy, mae'n broblem gydag ieithoedd lleiafrifol ar draws y byd. Mae'n rhywbeth sy'n nodweddu ieithoedd lleiafrifol ym mhob man. Un peth difyr a diddorol rŷm ni wedi'i weld yn digwydd, ac mae hyn wedi digwydd yng Nghanada yn ystod yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf, oedd cydnabyddiaeth o fewn y sector iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol bod pobl yn teimlo'n anghyffyrddus neu'n embarrassed i ddefnyddio iaith frodorol wrth ddefnyddio gwasanaethau, a gweld nad rhoi pwyslais ar y defnyddiwr oedd ei angen, ond rhoi pwysau ar y sefydliad - y cynnig rhagweithiol. Ac mae yna lot o drafod wedi bod yng Nghanada am y cynnig rhagweithiol. Ond beth maen nhw wedi'i wneud yw cymryd hynny gam ymhellach a rhoi cyfarwyddiadau statudol nawr ar bobl broffesiynol yn y maes iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghanada ar sut i gyfathrebu gyda defnyddwyr mewn iaith leiafrifol. Ac mae hynny wedi gwneud dau beth, sef cymryd y pwysau oddi ar y defnyddiwr a gosod pwysau statudol ar y person proffesiynol. Mae hynny'n rhan o'u cymhwyso nhw fel pobl broffesiynol yn y meysydd yma, yn iechyd a gofal. Mae hynny, rydw i'n credu, yn gam aruthrol o bositif ymlaen, o ran cymryd y pwysau i ffwrdd ond hefyd ei wneud e'n ddyletswydd broffesiynol ar unigolyn sy'n gweithio yn y maes iechyd a gofal i fod yn gallu cyfathrebu ac yn gwybod sut i gyfathrebu â phobl sydd, efallai, yn ansicr. So, mae hynny'n rhywbeth, pe bawn i'n aros yn y sedd yma, y buaswn i'n sicr â diddordeb mawr mewn edrych arno: sut mae gweu hynny i mewn i gymhwyso proffesiynol mewn gwahanol feysydd yng Nghymru a'i osod e ar lefel statudol. Mae Canada wedi'i wneud e nawr, ac mae wedi ei symud o fod yn ddrafft i fod yn statudol yn ystod y tair wythnos diwethaf yma. So, felly, mae hynny wedi bod yn agoriad llygad. Mae hynny, rydw i'n credu - ei symud e o'r unigolyn i'r sefydliad, ond hefyd y gydnabyddiaeth statudol o anghenion maes proffesiynol - mor bwysig.
