abstract
The article deals with the status of the Welsh language as a minority language in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The emphases are put on the status of Welsh as one of the official languages in Wales and on reflections thereof in the primary and secondary legislation of the National Assembly for Wales. The article further aims to briefly describe legal institutions, and the legal status thereof, which serve to reinforce and further develop the language. What might serve as an example is the independent status of the Welsh Language Commissioner and its activity. Last but not least, the article analyses the issue of the equality of topographical indications in both official languages in the territory of Wales, as well as the use of the Welsh language in education.
