Annual Population Survey: Welsh language

The Census is the key source of information about the number of people who can speak Welsh. The Annual Population Survey collects information about respondents’ Welsh speaking ability and also includes a question on how often people speak Welsh. APS results are published every quarter. The APS estimates of Welsh language ability are historically higher than those produced by the Census.
