Cornish Language Partnership : Business Use

An increasing number of businesses in Cornwall are using Cornish in their marketing or in the names they choose for their products. Cornish is distinctive and emphasises local origin.

This section shows you some of the ways in which Cornish is being used currently and also includes some guidance on using two languages.

If you would like to start using Cornish, we can offer advice, arrange translation and answer queries – or put you in touch with someone who knows the answer if we don’t. Go to the Online Translation Request Service page to ask us for specific translations or contact us to discuss it further.
