A language belonging to the Brythonic group of Celtic languages spoken in Cornwall, England. It was thought to have been lost to English with the death of D. Pentreath in 1777, but in fact it was passed down in small numbers, and from 1875 onwards, H. Jenner attempted to revive it as a spoken language. In 1967, the Cornish Language Board was established, and it began to be studied as an elective subject in schools.

イギリスのコーンウォールで行われていたケルト語派ブリソニック群に属する言語。英語に押されて,1777年 D.ペントリースの死とともに,最後の話し手を失ったと考えられてきたが,実際にはほそぼそと語り伝えられ,1875年以降 H.ジェンナーによって話し言葉に復活させる試みが行われた。 1967年にはコーンウォール語委員会が設置され,学校で選択科目として学習されるようになった。
