  Welsh is an official language in Wales and is spoken by an estimated 884,300
people (29.2% of the population of Wales). Despite this status and estimated
increase in speaker numbers since the last (2011) census, Welsh remains a
minority language undergoing revitalization and promotion by Welsh Government
and relevant stakeholders. As part of the effort to increase the availability
of Welsh digital technology, this paper introduces the first Welsh
summarisation dataset, which we provide freely for research purposes to help
advance the work on Welsh text summarization. The dataset was created by Welsh
speakers by manually summarising Welsh Wikipedia articles. In addition, the
paper discusses the implementation and evaluation of different summarisation
systems for Welsh. The summarization systems and results will serve as
benchmarks for the development of summarises in other minority language
contexts.
