For the year ending 30 June 2020, the Annual Population Survey reported that 28.5% of people living in Wales, aged three and over were able to speak Welsh. This figure equates to 861,700 people.
Urdu is spoken by approximately 269,000 people in the UK, according to the 2011 census. However, according to Ethnologue magazine, the number of Urdu speakers is approximately 400,000.
The lack of accessible information, especially in community languages, is particularly problematic for those worried about cancer.
