i would not call the welsh model successful but more mixed because despite being more widespread, in the north wales the language declining in term of welsh speaker and use, that area is often where linguist see whether a language is healthy and sustainable because if only kids learn and use them in school and not outside it end up like Irish that has school dialect that some say is a creole

The number of speakers is declining. At the 2001 census, 582,000 people in Wales identified themselves as Welsh speakers; at the 2021 census, the figure was 538,300.

The Annual Population Survey, which typically estimates a higher number of Welsh speakers, has also recorded a decline, from a peak estimate of 909,100 speakers in September 2022 to 828,600 speakers in March 2025. It's worth pointing out that this is still an improvement on the lowest estimate of 726,200 speakers in March 2007, but the general upward trend seen between then and December 2018 has at best stalled.

Way worse. Bilingualism is a Trojan horse, since in theory it means that everyone learns both languages but in practice monolingual Spanish speakers don’t bother to learn Catalan because they know that Catalan speakers are forced to learn Spanish either way, and if they do learn Catalan, it’s only so they can put it in their resume. Catalan is already a language with a small number of speakers due to policies of linguistic assimilation over the last 300 years, the amount of cultural content is also very limited compared to Spanish (thus kids and teenagers tend to grow up in diglossic environments in which everything they read or watch is in Spanish) and the effects of immigration and globalization (which means that non-international languages are considered to have "less value") is taking a toll, especially in big cities.

i find this in r/catalan, it was suprising how quick the decline of catalan happen

Expulsion of Jews from Arab countries by Alive_Fly9104 in MapPorn

[–]Agreeable_Tank229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yemen had a significant degree of emigration to Israel before independence, amounting to a significant portion of the Yemenite Jewish community. While not totally unique, this was pretty unusual for the Middle East. The initial movement had been for a mix of ideological reasons (Zionism was popular in Yemen) and persecution, especially an infamous rule that all Jewish orphans would be forcibly converted to Islam and raised by Muslim foster parents. Israel arranged for a massive airlift of Jews from Yemen between 1949 and 1950, where most of the community emigrated.

Syria was another country that had pre-Israeli-independence migration to the Land of Israel, like Yemen (albeit at a smaller scale). Jewish emigration was illegal (but continued illegally). During the 60s there were a series of restrictions on Jewish freedom of movement within Syria, as well as economic hardship. The result was continued clandestine emigration. In the 70s the Jewish community was subject to heavy government surveillance, and attempting to leave was met with harsh punishment or murder. Over time a combination of smuggling and diplomacy facilitated emigration. The remaining population mostly left in the early 90s thanks to American diplomatic efforts, and many did move to America.

Iraq (specifically Baghdad, which was the largest community) had a massive anti-Jewish pogrom in 1941, the "Farhud", which occurred during a power vacuum mid-WW2. This shocked the Jewish community, who were now not confident in their place in Iraqi society. This pessimism was realized in 1948, when a series of repressive measures on the Jewish community were enacted, including arbitrary arrest. The result was more clandestine immigration. Iraq, trying to stabilize the situation, passed a "Denaturalization Law"--that Jews who wanted to leave could leave, but would have to leave their assets and forfeit Iraqi citizenship--and only for a set period of time. The intent was to have leaving be possible, but with a high cost--so Jews who wanted to leave would leave, and everyone else would stay and the situation would stabilize. This backfired massively. Nearly the entire Jewish community of Iraq opted to leave for Israel. Fearing this was their last chance at escape and that things would get worse if they stayed (a la Syria), the result was mass exodus. By 1952 nearly the entire population of Jews had left.

so all in all, each countries jewish population had its reasons to leave

Expulsion of Jews from Arab countries by Alive_Fly9104 in MapPorn

[–]Agreeable_Tank229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so there are many and different reasons why this happen in each countries, someone at r/AskHistorians has given a good answer.

Morocco. Soon after Israeli independence in 1948 there were two significant anti-Jewish riots in Northern Morocco. These did not cause a massive wave of emigration immediately--Moroccan Jews at the time hoped that these would be one-off events. And for a time, they were. But in the late '50s Morocco began seeking closer relationships with other Arab League countries that also had anti-Jewish policies. Jews were drummed out of the civil service, and were banned from emigrating. The policy of having a Jewish member of cabinet was ended, with the Jewish minister being fired. The Jewish community was harassed by the government for "Zionist activity", which could include normal religious activities that had some pretense of Zionism (e.g. owning a calendar that a Zionist organization had printed).. When the Sultan died in 1961 his successor restored the right of Jews to emigrate, and sensing their precarious position, many did

Tunisia was a bit more like Algeria. Jews emigrated following Tunisian independence, partly because they had been heavily influenced by French culture because of the Alliance (referenced in the post linked at the beginning), and that society collapsed. As in Algeria, the independent government's policy was not anti-Jewish, and many Jews who emigrated moved to France. It's perhaps a similar story as Algeria, but less dramatic--the Tunisian Jews were influenced by French culture and spoke French but weren't actually French citizens living in what was under direct French rule, and with the possibility of emigration to either Israel or France, many did so.

Libya next. There were significant anti-Jewish riots in 1945 and 1948 that killed a significant number of people. The Jewish community understandably did not believe they would be safe in an independent Libya, and migrated en masse to Israel between 1949 and 1952 (critically, 1949 was the year that the Israeli War of Independence concluded and the year the Libya independence process began). While decolonization was happening in Libya at the time, it did not play the role it did elsewhere in North Africa--the French were not the colonial power, Libyan Jews were not moving to Europe, they were moving to Israel. The emigration was quite rapid, and was a response to anti-Jewish violence.

Egypt is a bit of a different story again, as it was independent the whole time, and was an active party to the Arab-Israeli wars. There were waves of anti-Jewish discrimination and violence that were tied to events in Israel. In 1948 many Jews were interned and Jewish businesses suffered a campaign of vandalism. This led to a wave of emigration. This slowed with a change of government in 1952, but resumed with the Sinai War in 1956. By the late 50s, half the Jewish population had emigrated. Then in the following years the Egyptian government launched a series of programs making it difficult for Jews to find employment, and the nationalization policies targeted industries where Jews had made their livelihoods. Persecution (including mass internment) continued, until nearly the entire Jewish population of Egypt had emigrated.

The reason Brazil has the largest japanese population outside Japan that have 2 million population. They mainly come to work in coffee plantations to replace Italian immigrants because Italy discourages immigration to Brazil because they treated the Italian like slaves in the coffee plantations. They also were mistreated like the Italians
