Newport or Casnewydd generally isn’t a Welsh speaking city. There are pockets and there are plenty of individuals who speak our native language, but around Wales it’s one of the lowest in terms of percentage of people speaking Cymraeg. In 2027 the urdd youth Eisteddfod is coming to the city, and people are hoping it’ll be a catalyst for more Welsh speakers in the future.
