		This failure to produce or sustain a translation of the Bible in Cornish is generally seen as a crucial factor in the demise of the language.

	[No title]
		Cornish is a Celtic language, associated with Welsh and Breton as one of the Brythonic languages within the orthodox, but problematic, linguistic typologies.
		Cornish has no legal status and, as with other minority languages in the U.K., the government resists arguments to give minority language groups official status, arguing that language use will not gain by legislation and the conferring of official status, but rather will derive from the facilitating and enabling process.
		The only conceivable context for Cornish in the economic order is by reference to 'cultural' tourism where it could be argued that place names and reference to it in tourist literature affords a symbolic value that is of advantage to the tourist industry.

	The Cornish Communities Programme
		Many families from Cornwall settled in communities around the world that were described as ‘Cornish’, built on mining pride and prowess that had evolved from the industrial experience back in Britain, and were connected by dynamic transnational circuits that bound receiving and sending communities closely together.
		Cornish people came together in a transnational public sphere to debate their common affairs, contest meanings, issues of identity and to negotiate claims.
		Using the Cornish as a case study, this project will explore the tensions and disjunctions brought about by the changing nature of transnationalism among the Cornish worldwide over the past century and what this reveals about national and ethnic identities, citizenship and belonging.

		Cornish Names is the first attempt in one volume to cover all the personal names (both surnames and given names), placenames (both major and minor), and other onomastic aspects of the ancient language of Cornwall.
		Cornish Names ranges from what to name the baby or a vacation house in Cornwall to how history and literature and folklore are preserved in the names of saints and the common people.
		Today people want to preserve endangered species, endangered heritage, and Cornwall is a fine example of a place where, almost too late but fortunately but not completely too late, an effort was made which saved an endangered language, something valuable and in the nick of time.

		In appearance, Cornish Rex cats are a study in curves starting most noticeably with their coat which ideally falls in washboard waves.

		Even so, most allergic people are bothered by the dander (dead skin cells) and the saliva, both of which are present in Cornish Rex cats.

	Cornish Folklore - Myths and Legends of Cornwall
		The Cornish piskey, of course, is legend, but much less is generally known about those other faery people, the spriggans, knockers and Small People, whose activities were closely interwoven with those of the ordinary mortal folk among whom they lived.
		And, of course, many people of old were piskey-led when benighted, losing all sense of time and place and wandering helplessly in what appeared to be a strange landscape, until they dropped down into an exhausted sleep.
		In many ways the little people of Cornwall therefore have their haunts to themselves more than ever before, rarely disturbed by a gatherer of samphire or gull's eggs on the cliff ledges, by a lone traveller on a dark moorland track after "day-down", or by miners working at the end of a level.

	Wilkie Collins - Rambles Beyond Railways - V. Cornish people
		Thus slow in following the progress of the times, the people of Cornwall still exhibit much that is primitive and simple in their manners, much that is traditional and superstitious in their national modes of thought, and much that is kindly and honest in their behaviour to strangers and their behaviour to each other.
		The manners of the Cornish of all ranks, down to the lowest, are remarkably distinguished by courtesy - a courtesy of that kind which is quite independent of artificial breeding, and which proceeds solely from natural motives of kindness and from an innate anxiety to please.
		The people from the country, hastening into the town, hot and eager, paused, reckless of the music, reckless of the flags, reckless of the procession, to look forth upon the streets "with verdure clad." The popularity of the Sons of Apollo was a thing of the past already!

	The Battle of Deptford Bridge in 1497
		In June 1997, Cornish marchers gathered on Blackheath common in London, England, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Cornish rebellion in 1497.
		The Cornish clearly expected to get popular support behind them, and to be in a position of strength, with the help of Kentish rebels, by the time they got to London.
		It is thought that the Cornish rebels thought they had a chance to take advantage of over stretched English troops fighting battles both against both the Cornish and the Scots, and needing large garrisons to maintain the occupation of Wales and Ireland.
