Culture of Cornwall

The culture of Cornwall ((コーンウォール語:Gonisogeth Kernow)) forms part of the culture of the United Kingdom, but has distinct customs, traditions and peculiarities. Cornwall, a non-metropolitan and ceremonial county of England, a duchy, and a Celtic nation, has many strong local traditions. After many years of decline, Cornish culture has undergone a strong revival, and many groups exist to promote Cornwall's culture and language today.
==Language==
(詳細はCeltic language related to Breton and Welsh. All of these are directly descended from the British language which was once spoken throughout most of Britain. The language went into decline following the introduction of the English ''Book of Common Prayer'' (in 1549) and by the turn of the 19th century had ceased to be used as a community language, (see main article for further discussion.)
During the 19th century researchers began to study the language from any remaining isolated speakers and in 1904 Henry Jenner published ''A Handbook in the Cornish Language'' which started the revival proper. Although less than 1% of Cornwall's population speak the language and 'mother tongue' speakers are in their hundreds rather than thousands, the language continues to play a significant part in the culture of Cornwall.
Some events will use Cornish, in short phrases, openings, greetings or names. There is a healthy tradition of music in the language, which can also be enjoyed by non-speakers. The vast majority of place names in Cornwall are derived from the language, and many people who live in Cornwall know a few words or phrases, e.g. 'Kernow bys vyken!' ('Cornwall forever!). Many Cornish houses, businesses, children, pets and boats〔For example: "Chy-an-Pronter" (a house); Kerenza Peacock (a woman)〕 are named in the language, thus it has use as a 'official community language' and any Cornish speaker will often be asked to provide translations. A sign of this role is that two of Cornwall's five MPs (now six) once swore their oaths to the Queen in Cornish.
