Mobile phone users frustrated by how long it takes to write messages in Welsh can try out a new predictive text programme from today.
Welsh language texters previously had to add words manually to their phone's dictionary or type the slow way. The software, which predicts Welsh words as you type, has to be downloaded on phones and will be available free for a trial period.

right now about 5 people in the vallys will be able to text a little bit faster, well worth the effort of a few programers

I'm not sure how many welsh speakers their are exactly in the valleys but im quite sure its a lot more than 5.
I doubt many welsh people would be pleased if you told them it was a dead or dying language.
The demand must have been their in the first place otherwise no one would have bothered surely.
don't know about latin but other languages have a T9 so don't see why the welsh should be left out.

I always figured Welsh would be easy to text in. It's just English without any vowels 
Just switch on the T9 dictionary only type your texts as if it wasn't switched on...... that'll make your text look pretty Welsh!
Man I'm gonna get flamed! Oh wait, people in Wales don't have the internet... phew
