Ym mis Ionawr, cyhoeddais alwad am dystiolaeth, Paratoi ar gyfer Bil y Gymraeg, er mwyn casglu barn a phrofiad cyrff sydd eisoes o dan drefn Safonau’r Gymraeg neu sy’n paratoi i ddod o dan y drefn Safonau a osodir ym Mesur y Gymraeg (Cymru) 2011 (“y Mesur”). Roeddwn i’n dymuno clywed am eu profiad o’r gyfundrefn Safonau, am gydbwysedd swyddogaethau rheoleiddio a hybu Comisiynydd y Gymraeg, ac am drefniadau i hybu a hyrwyddo’r iaith Gymraeg yn fwy cyffredinol.
In January, I issued a call for evidence, Preparing for a Welsh Language Bill, to gather the views and experiences of the bodies already operating under the Welsh language Standards or who are preparing to come under the Standards system set out in the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 ("the Measure"). I wanted to hear about their experience of the Standards regime, the balance between the Welsh Language Commissioner’s regulatory and promotional functions, and about arrangements for promoting and facilitating the Welsh language more generally.
