Shwmae Su'mae Day is a Welsh language celebration encouraging simple greetings and raising awareness of the language’s use.
Observed on October 15 in Wales, Shwmae Su'mae Day invites people to start conversations in Welsh by using the informal greetings Shwmae and Su'mae. The campaign, launched by the Welsh Language Commissioner, aims to make Welsh more accessible and visible in everyday life. Schools, businesses, and community groups take part by incorporating Welsh phrases into events, signage, and social media posts. The day fosters cultural pride and supports efforts to revitalize the Welsh language across generations. Participants share their language experiences online using hashtags and engage in local workshops and language cafes.
