Abstract
The status of indigenous minority language groups in Europe has been underresearched
in theology and religious studies. In the United Kingdom alone, besides
English, there are at least ten languages that are indigenous to these islands and
many who use those languages see all that is associated with their linguistic identity
under threat: music, arts and literature; communities; ways of thinking; ways of being in
the world. This article focuses on Welsh language users in particular as both a minority
and oppressed group in the United Kingdom. Along with a concern for other
experiences of oppression, this paper argues that the experiences of minority language
groups need to be taken seriously by scholars of religion and theology and invites
contributions from our disciplines to debates about the place and status of minority
language groups. To that end, this paper begins to map the contours of a liberation
theology of the Welsh language.
