This article will trace how several efforts were made to improve the status of the Welsh language in the Post Office from the nineteenth century up to the end of the Second World War ― a period in which Welsh nationalism began to be realised through the formation of several nationalist groups campaigning for an improved status for the Welsh language in response to the punitive measures taken by the British government to curb its power and usage. However, groups campaigning for an improved status and treatment for Wales as a nation within the British Isles (and especially in its relationship vis-à-vis the British government) were not united in their aim and scope, rendering these movements sectional and divided along geographical lines. In the nineteenth century, a variety of popular protests over the issue of religious freedom was the primary concern. The status of the Welsh language became a secondary issue ― a stance that impacted on several areas of the community, most notably the Post Office. The Post Office remained unable to provide services in the Welsh language in the early twentieth century despite its growing importance for the Welsh people, who were now making increased use of Post Office communication services. The government’s reluctance to consider an improvement in the status of the Welsh language were entrenched by the unfavourable views it held concerning the Welsh language as a language of protest with toxic links to political and radical nationalism. This article will assess the attitude and response of the Post Office to the Welsh language, and how it took active steps to recruit more Welsh speakers. It will demonstrate how political support, and support of government departments increased for the usage of the language, and outline how this facilitated an attitudinal change, and an improved status for the Welsh language by the end of 1945.
