The Cornish language shop 'Kowsva' in Redruth and the Cornish Language Plan adopted by Cornwall Council makes the national news in Wales.
Featuring Morgan Meats www.morganmeats.co.uk and Boesti, Redruth
Subtitles available in English and Cornish (labelled as Corsican due to auto-complete)
Oh Britain... the only place in the world where one Celtic language gains subtitles in another! (2:41) Aren't we lucky to have these languages still living?
click on Settings and change the subtitle language to Corsican - which is actually Cornish which wasn't in the list but Corsican is the closest to it alphabetically
@@mawkernewek He meant the subtitles that are built in in the video
If this was on BBC Alba, half the report would be in English.
Did you catch the "[Councilor speaking in councilease]"?
I think this is fantastic for the Cornish and their Nation of Cornwall. All patriotic Cornish folk should make an effort to learn the language of their country. Real progress will only be made with the establishment of a certain amount of Cornish-Language schools in the country, from Penzance to Saltash. I'm not Cornish. I'm from Devon, on the English side of the Tamar. I love my native county, but I do have a certain interest in the revival of the Cornish language. I don't speak or understand a word of Cornish, but I'm Devonian, so I don't need to, English is my mother tongue. You Cornish should be looking to increase that current total of 500 fluent Cornish speakers by many thousands. If the Israelis were able to revive Hebrew after many centuries, then I'm sure that you Cornish folk can do the same. I'll be watching your progress from Devon, with a great deal of interest. Good luck to you all.
You could start learning Cornish; Devon is right next to Cornwall, and was once Cornish-speaking; see
forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/devon-and-somerset-are-welsh-1066-west-country-brythonic.194952/ “Devon and Somerset are Welsh! (1066 West Country Brythonic)”. Writes, “Dumnonia was one of the more resilient of the Celtic kingdoms. The Romans did not fully conquer it, nor did the Saxons.”
and
“Reports of West Country Brythonic surviving in Southern Devon until the C14th are made by the Tristram Risdon in c.1630…” West Country Brythonic: that's Cornish!
Genetic research says Cornwall is ~20% Germanic by ancestry, Devon ~25%, Somerset ~30%. The rest of the ancestry is, presumably, mostly Celtic. So Devon is likely pretty Celtic.
Three websites that support the idea that Devon is ‘Celtic’:
alanindyfed.blogspot.com/2009/10/celtic-kingdom-of-devon.html “The Celtic Kingdom of Devon”. 2009.10.5.
www.historyfiles.co.uk/FeaturesBritain/BritishDevonIntro.htm “Post-Roman Britain: Introduction to Celtic Devon”. 2004.6.10.
annisbetweenworlds.blogspot.com/p/second-celtic-trip-july-2012-cornwall.html “Between Worlds: Second Celtic Trip - July 2012 - Cornwall and Devon”. Celtic Britons “were not much interested in weaponry and martial arts... Their language [Proto-Brythonic, which became Welsh, Cornish and Breton] was musical and soft - which suited lyrics. Not militaristic, the Celts could not keep the ferocious Picts... at bay as the Romans had done [using] Hadrian’s Wall. So they possibly invited in Saxons from Frisia (northern Holland) and Angles (Germans) who liked these islands and stayed.” [Fits in with a book i am reading, Rebuilding the Celtic Languages]. [Explains why Celtic languages ended up marginalized, while Germanic and Latin (Romance languages) thrived?]
Also, Devon is named after the Dumnonii, a British-Celtic tribe.
Therefor, i hav come to regard Devon as Celtic, and hence part of the region where Cornish ought to be promoted. Also, Cornish needs all the support it can get, and the Devonians can help.
I live in the US and I'm learning Irish and understand a fair bit of spanish. You don't have to be in an area where its commonly spoken to learn it. Besides devon is like right next to cornwall, you dork.
It's easier for you... I have to travel the length of England (and part of Scotland) to get there. If you're in Devon, surely that's the next best thing to being in Cornwall.
Doesn't Plymouth have Cornish classes on the go? I mean it should, considering how many Cornish shop, work and even live there.
"Councillor speaks in councilese" lol (his message seems nice enough though)
I'd think Cornish is more known than Corsican, so it's weird utube doesn't know it, or would it perhaps be under Kernewek?
As someone who's trying to learn Cymraeg & who wants to learn Kernowek i think the languages look less similar than i've been told. Some words are quite obvious - to learn - but others less so.
Thanks for uploading & subtitling it.
Google has the option to flag videos as being in the Coptic language now, which is the direct descendant of Ancient Egyptian.
The Cornish Council has a much nicer building than the Scottish Parliament.
I can understand the news readers and I speak Cornish!
From Cornwall - Kernow bys vyken.
I say more power to them. Continue to keep the Cornish language alive.
all very laudable, but it seems a little hypocritical in the face of Cornwall councils house building frenzy which will dilute theCornish people out of existence.
For spoken language, i suggest footnotes denoting whether Welsh (Cymraeg) or Cornish (Kernewek) is being spoken. Here, it's mostly Welsh, with some Cornish; i think i can tell the difference, but it gets confusing.
5 years ago, why not in schools? where the cornish stories audios for kids?
The council needs to create a dubbing team to dub cartoons and children's programming into kernewek, because people learn language best in immersion by hearing it. To push back against the ubiquity of English, Cornish media, including dubbed versions of popular shows and films, is crucial.
I have also added English subtitles now, this may mean you need to press the "Settings" button on the lower-right to choose subtitle language.
Hi there. Bit of a random question I know but is the Cornish 'dh' pronounced anything like a Welsh 'dd'? As a Gàidhlig speaker I instinctively want to pronounce it a very different way :-)
It is pronounced exactly the same as the Welsh 'dd'.
mawkernewek Cool. Ta
Istitlow yw kavadow yn Korsikanek - gav dhymm, Kernewek.
+mawkernewek Is this video in Cornish or some other similar language?
+ChinaLake100 Most of the speech is in Welsh, which is very similar to Cornish
mawkernewek Is it sort of like comparing Irish and Scottish Gaelic?
+ChinaLake100 Further apart, more like German and Dutch
I think the relationship between Cornish and Breton is more comparable to that between Irish and Scots Gaelic, although these things are rarely, if ever, directly comparable.
Time now to revive Cumbric and Pictish too.
