Visitors to the National Eisteddfod on Tuesday will have an opportunity to study the Assembly's review of the Welsh language.

The review has been hailed as a vision for a future bilingual Wales, but some language activists who will be at the festival in St David's, Pembrokeshire, are sceptical.

Clergyman Aled Jones Williams was crowned

The chair of the assembly's Culture Committee, Rhodri Glyn Thomas will face critics on the Maes during the second full day of the cultural festival.

He will hold a question and answer session at the Welsh Assembly's stand.

The committee has spent more than a year looking at ways to protect and promote the language, and the recommendations are likely to come under close scrutiny.

Committee members have said they want to boost the provision of nursery education and the number of Welsh language initiatives. They also want to create language action zones.

But activists such as Huw Lewis from Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg - the Welsh Language Society - have said the proposals do not go far enough.

"The culture committee has decided to step back from getting to grips with the roots of the problem in order to create a cosy consensus around less radical solutions," he said.

St David's is benefitting from festival-goers

Organisers of the eight-day festival expect more than 160,000 people to attend the eisteddfod during the week of poetry, music and the performing arts.

Crowds turned up on Monday to see two highlights - the induction of the future Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, to the Gorsedd of the Bards, and the crowning of Aled Jones Williams for his poem, Breezes.
