Late Cornish : ウィキペディア英語版
Cornish language

Cornish (''Kernowek'' or ''Kernewek'') is a Southwestern Brittonic Celtic language historically spoken by the Cornish people. The language has undergone a revival in recent decades and is considered to be an important part of Cornish identity, culture and heritage.〔(Funding boost to safeguard Cornish language announced )〕〔(Kowethas an Yeth Kernewek wins Heritage Lottery Fund support )〕 It is a recognised minority language of the United Kingdom, protected under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, and has a growing number of speakers.
Along with Welsh and Breton, Cornish is descended directly from the Common Brittonic language spoken throughout much of Britain before the English language came to dominate. It was the main language of Cornwall for centuries until it was pushed westwards by English. Cornish continued to function as a common community language in parts of Cornwall until the late 18th century and continued to be spoken in the home by some families into the 19th and possibly 20th centuries, overlapping the beginning of revival efforts. A process to revive the language was begun in the early 20th century, with a number of orthographical systems in use until a Standard Written Form was agreed upon in 2008. In 2010 UNESCO announced that its former classification of the language as "extinct" was "no longer accurate".
Since the revival of the language many Cornish textbooks and works of literature have been published and an increasing number of people are studying the language.〔 Recent developments include Cornish music,〔() 〕 independent films,〔() 〕 and children's books. A small number of people in Cornwall have been brought up to be bilingual native speakers,〔 and the language is taught in many schools. The first Cornish language crèche opened in 2010.
== Classification ==
Cornish is one of the Brittonic languages, which constitute a branch of the Insular Celtic section of the Celtic language family. Brittonic also includes Welsh, Breton and the Cumbric language; the last is extinct. Scottish Gaelic, Irish and Manx are part of the separate Goidelic branch of Insular Celtic.
Joseph Loth viewed Cornish and Breton as being two dialects of the same language, claiming that ''"Middle Cornish is without doubt closer to Breton as a whole than the modern Breton dialect of Quiberon is to that of Saint-Pol-de-Léon".''
