Cornish Today
Cornish today is a living language and is
recognised as such under the European Charter for Regional or
Minority Languages.
A strategy for development, drawn up in response
to this recognition has resulted in a funded development programme
to help the language move forward.
In this section you will find the background studies and documents
which have helped Cornish take a leap forward, together with
information on the state of the language today. As more research is
carried out and new information becomes available, it will be
posted here.

Put simply, the written sources for Cornish
span several centuries and reflect different periods in the life of
