Both essays are talking about the main languages of their native tongue. The essay from Welsh was put in a very formal form while the other one was about informal. It was usually support from her experience and the one from Welsh was from research rather than experience. They are both informative about the mother tongue. The one in the Welsh was more demanding where you had to learn the language when the other one was just like a bonus to learn the language. Both essays are good but very different from each other.

This is an interesting interpretation. You're right, the style of the articles are very different from each other, the piece from the Economist was a formal analysis of the political climate that is causing The welsh people to rediscover the language of their ancestors. Mother Tongue was a personal essay, showing one person's experience. Both pieces addressed the use of language in an atmosphere where another language is dominant.
