The Cornish language (in Cornish: Kernowek, Kernewek, Curnoack) is one of the Brythonic group of Celtic languages (Brythonic also includes Welsh, Breton, the extinct Cumbric and perhaps the hypothetical Ivernic).
Cornish continued to function as a community language until the late 18th century, and was revived early in the 20th century.
The language has been officially recognised as one of the five languages of the British Isles.[citation needed] This recognition should lead to greater access to funds from a variety of sources.

The modern Brythonic languages all derive from a common ancestral language termed British, Common Brythonic, Old Brythonic or Proto-Brythonic, which is thought to have developed from the Proto-Celtic language which was introduced to Britain from the middle second millennium BC (Hawkes, 1973).

This language first diverged from Gaulish in 500 BCE and survived the Gaelic invasion of Ireland (sometime between 500 and 100 BCE).
However, its speakers eventually interbred with the Gaels and by the time the Vikings had established Limerick in about 850 CE, the Ivernic language was extinct and completely replaced with Irish Gaelic.

The linguist Edward Lhuyd, writing in 1702, theorises that the language of this time was heavily inflected, possessing not just the genitive, ablative and locative cases so common in Early Modern Cornish, but also dative and accusative cases, and even a vocative case, although historical references to this are rare.
The earliest written record of the Cornish language is a gloss in a Latin manuscript of De Consolatione Philosophiae by Boethius, which used the words ud rocashaas.

One example of the Ivernian legacy would be language, but apart from this name of Ireland and possibly the personal names, tribal names, placenames and God and Goddess Names given below, we have only some brief mention of Ivernic, found in Sanas Cormaic (Cormac's Glossary).
We thus have a reconstructed name for the Ivernic language, namely *Érnbélre, though we cannot be certain that this would have been the name the Érainn themselves would have used.
This meaning is also found in Sanas Cormaic, which is one of the causes of O'Rahilly's doubts regarding ond and fern as actual *Érnbélre words.
