Kornvala Ortografio


…de la Agence Bretagne Presse:

It has not been an easy matter, getting agreement on a standard written form for the Cornish language. But Jenefer Lowe, Cornish Language Officer for Cornwall County Council in an interview for Radyo Kernew, has said that an announcement can be expected by the end of this month (April).

But we shall have to wait and see whether this will mean that from next September the language will be gradually introduced into schools and whether there will be some official documents in the language.

And although the official British government supported Cornish Language Partnership appeared some weeks ago to be coming to the opinion that the most widely used Kernewek Kemmyn (Common Cornish) would form the basis of the new orthography, supporters of other forms are reluctant to agree...

That's putting it politely!

The new spelling system for Cornish has been ratified, if you would like to be blogging about it.

I would blog about it, but I'm busy as I won't be blogging for a couple of weeks as I'm going on holiday.

Bondezirojn!
