It wasn't thought to be extinct, it was completely extinct. The last native speaker died in 1777 and it had been dwindling in use for 500 years before that. To revive it, it had to be recreated from whatever meager sources existed. Since it died out before modern times, there were no words for anything invented after 1800. The revived Cornish is not the same as the language that died out in the 18th century.

A heart warming video and lovely to read such positive comments! I fell in love with The Cornish Language 40 years ago and studied it at university. As a Welshman I can recognise many words in Cornish although the grammar is different in many areas but Cornish and Breton have a greater affinity. I was lucky to live for 6 years in Brittany where I met Morwena Jenkin who I call the Super P Celt being fluent in Welsh, Breton and her native Cornish. That looks like a relative on the video actually. She inspired me more and I am so happy that this revival is happening hearing little children speak Cornish , it brings a tear to my eye. Cornwall is a region with a special status it is not just part of E gland. I hope I will get an opportunity to speak it again a f join something online. The P Celts ie The Welsh, Cornish and the Bretons need to stick together and join forces with the Q Celts ie The Manx, the Scottish and The Irish and even out r friends in Cumbria who are descendants of Brittonic Language just The P Celts!

“Kernowek... has been spoken in the South West of England since the seventh century.” Actually, Cornwall (Kernow) is not part of England. However, “South West of England” here isn't totally incorrect; Cornish (Kernowek, or Kernewek) was, up to a certain point, also spoken in Devon. (Do you Devonians self-identify with Cornish? Do you Devonians want to learn it also?) I support minority languages such as Cornish; partly because such languages wer all-too-oft forcibly suppressed. Supporting and promoting such languages means saying no! to such bigotry and taking away of freedom of language. Also, linguist K. David Harrison has written at least two books building a case in favor of preserving linguistic diversity.

Cornish was indeed spoken in Devon. We have a number of local families/places with Cornish names in this area (South Hams) and the language was in use here extensively until the 14/15 th century (I believe) as the Bishop of Exeter issued a directive banning its use especially in church services.

i might not speak Cornish but i'm pretty sure that what sounds like "Our Father" in Cornish at the beginning of this film, is just a list of Cornish place names with similar sounds to Our Father in English.

That is because is IS linked to the British languages.

There are parts also of the person that wish not to cling to what gives a specious identity in a larger and more general world. They wish nothing to do with the world at all. They rise apart from it, stand against it, and both remake and destroy it where it is deemed appropriate. The language is not only a communication tool, or repository of culture and meaning. It is a person, and it is also a large part of human persons. The language has a life of its own and wants to live, whether people are up to the task or not. People are just like the blood cells and cultural institutions are just like organs, and the language is just like the soul and mind that wants to live through them, though they also claim lives of their own. Cornish and Welsh are very smooth and beautiful languages when spoken well, and very ancient, and deserve to live, no less as much as do English or German, French or Italian. So the many well-known and robust works of philosophy and poetry are mainly found in German and English. Is your best friend necessarily a well-known philosopher or poet? Perhaps your best friend is a cheeky rastler. He also wants to speak and live.

Ancient peoples could speak British, Latin, and Greek or Hebrew, or Arabic, so modern people can learn 2,3,4 languages, and use 1 locally, 1 on the phones, and 1 across UK, and another internationally. Many of us today are just too lazy, or do not realise what we are missing out on. Gaining opportunities to use language is a big problem, and we should encourage all opportunities possible.

Attempts to revive Cornish are nothing new. When I visited Cornwall in the 1970s, I was able to buy a Cornish phrase-book. The language was extinct for hundreds of years and had to be recreated from whatever sparse remnants survived.

The revival is genuine. Various scholars from Morton Nance, Jenner, Nicholas Williams and others have done a lot of work on the vocabulary and grammar. It is close enough to Welsh and Breton and has some grammatical similarities with Irish, so we can be fairly sure. Debates rage as to precise pronunciation and idiom - some like Williams prefer to reconstruct medieval forms, others base their language on the last survivals around West Penwith and others prefer to reconstruct from what we know of other Brythonic languages. Standardised spelling has been adopted since 2013, but it's still early stages similar to the situation with Manx.

@@thomaszaccone3960 there are a lot of similarities in both vocabulary and sentence structure, partly due to the way Cornish has been reconstructed, but huge differences in idiom. For example "Good night" is the same in both "Nos da", but "Thank you" is "Meur ras" in Cornish and "Os gwelwch yn dda" in Welsh.

@@timflatus I live in Wharton, NJ. It was a mining center in the 1800s. A lot of Cornish and Welsh people here. Mayor is Cornish. My wife is Cornish, Welsh and Irish. They still sell pasties here and they are quite tasty! They have a Cornish Society in Town

No, most of them are impostor But most of them were neighbors Most of them had another identity called as Dùmnonians (Damnation) Dùmnonia meant to be dominate another hegemony at behind the scenes, they destroy so many tribes in Cornwall itself like Méstís people whose bringing their own culture to Americas and Australia until Oceania but soon they missed in Antarctica and never go back to Europe, Voliba (Valerian) sub-tribe from Land's End, ancient Argentinian is part of Cornwall sub-tribe, Brazîlian sub-tribe closely related to Indigenous Limburgers or Friso-Zealandic which is Nordic descendant around Cornwall. All of Cornish subsets were blue eyed people which is Northern Atlantic phenotypes.

I've heard somewhere it's not trilled after vowels before consonants (so sequences like *art*, *berm*, *turn*, *mirth*, and *fort*) But the non-trilled version may not have sounded totally like English

Id like them to speak with a cornish accent not a queens english accent you know, like maria warnes ganfer could probably sound authentic

Why does cornish sound like the sims language

Because they are pronouncing it as if it's English, so it sounds like random gibberish

So the amount of eople that speak it is less rhan your average secondary school? Is it relly a recognised language? 500 is nothing.

They stress how important this is, but they don’t link the songs used in the video -_- With such amateurism, there is no hope. They speak it with English country accents for good sake! The only way forward is merger with Wales.

How would they merge with Wales? You know a lot of Welsh speak with English accents too? Only the Scots and Irish retain much of their own accents these days.

How ironic that the video paying homage to an ancient language and culture is started by a prayer in the religion that was forced on them by their invaders and conquerers :/

There are few if any places in the world that conquest has not influenced culture. While a tragic part of life, keeping or reopening old wounds will only continue the spiral of hate and loss. We are where we are now, for better or for worse. It is better to focus on building anew, than to lament what can not be.changed.

Those cultures that have been destroyed demand payment. I am sorry, but you can't conquer foreign lands rape the women kill the language and expect no consequences. Even if those in present day had nothing to do with it in the past.
