Consultation Response: Wellbeing and Sustainable Development (Scotland) Bill

Bòrd na Gàidhlig has submitted a response to the Scottish Government’s consultation on the Wellbeing and Sustainable Development (Scotland) Bill. Amongst the points raised, we said:

“Language and culture create self-esteem, nurture self-confidence, define identity and improve quality of life. It is an extremely important principle for Gaelic speakers that the right to use the language is a human right with a linguistic basis rather than simply a cultural one.”
