As the oldest living language in Europe (after Basque), Welsh is a unique aspect of British heritage. Despite its official status and the proliferation of Welsh-medium schools, it has all but disappeared as a living language outside of a handful of communities in the west and north of Wales. Martyn Ford traces the history of Welsh from the early medieval period, through the Act of Union between England and Wales in the 16th century, to industrial Wales in Victorian times, and then during the 20th century where due to mass migration Wales had become a land of two cultures and thus two peoples.
