	Southwestern Brythonic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Southwestern Brythonic is one of two dialects into which the Brythonic language split following the Battle of Deorham in A.D., the other being Western Brythonic, which later evolved into Welsh and Cumbric.
		It is the common ancestor of Cornish and Breton, which in the opinion of some (such as Schrijver) did not become distinct before the 12th century, the terms "Old Cornish" and "Old Breton" being geographical rather than linguistic.
		Other significant differences are found in Welsh innovations that Southwestern Brythonic did not participate in, such as the development of the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative /ɬ/.

		Mr Pyne regularly writes to local papers denuding Cornish distinctiveness and promoting his idea that the "Westcountry" should be unified.
		Also overlooked is the fact that Mr Biddulph speculates that his "South West Brythonic" existed from the Tamar to Berkshire.
		Mr Biddulph himself provides no evidence to indicate why his "language" would not have been spoken in Cornwall, which was an integral part of Dumnonia, and Mr Turner gives no reason as to why his random extrapolations should be called exclusively Devonish.

	Devon Folklore Culture, Customs and Langauge
		The Devon accent(s) (there are differences between Devon's regions) have the westcountry 'burr' that is common to much of south-west Britain.
		What is perhaps less well known is that Devon was one of the last places to speak the Celtic language in what is now England.
		Whilst Cornish was spoken in Cornwall until almost the modern day and Breton is still spoken by many thousands, common use of the language is reputed to have died out in Devon in the middle ages.

		It is doubtful that after a period of only around a hundred and fifty years that you'd have total assimilation of the native people and the replacement of brythonic as their language; especially when the Saxons were in the minority.
		The thing is that although people generally will have heard of Wessex and may consider themselves to live in a Wessex region, to most people Wessex is the Westcountry idyl of Hardy and the historical kingdom is assumed to be Westcountry as well.
		As for language, there is a significant body of evidence that the Brythonic language was still spoken in South and West Devon during the reign of Edward I (e.g.

	Dewnans - Ancient Dumnonia
		The victory of Arthur and the delay in Anglo-Saxon encroachment is important for it is during this time that the Saxons start to adopt christianity (the Britons already were christian although they observed christianity in different ways) and subsequent expansion was probably more tolerant of the indigenous Britons.
		Eventually the Saxon advance westward recommenced and in the sixth century (577AD) the Britons of the westcountry were separated from those of Wales.
		The Saxons called the Welsh 'Wealas' (meaning foreigners) and the Dumnonians became the 'West Wealas' and this is reflected on a number of ancient maps.

	BBC - Cornwall - Have your Say - Do you want a fully independent Cornwall?
		Both what you call West Country Brythonic and Cornish are separate languages derived from a Common root.
		What is now called west country Brythonic (cornish to you) originated in what is now devon, and the will of the ex-wessex king supports this (not sure how look it up on the book with the name west country brythonic).
		Cornish is the same (except a few mispronounciations caused by the revival) that was spoken across what the romans called the waelsh (welsh - but not the same as those in wales lol) lands of south west britain.
