…de la BBC:
A new creche has opened teaching toddlers how to speak Cornish.
Movyans Skolyow Meythrin, Cornish for the Nursery Schools Movement, aims to teach children the language through play while parents also get lessons.
Seven children were registered for the Saturday creche at Cornwall College, Camborne.
The language fell out of use in the 19th Century but there are now believed to be several hundred fluent Cornish speakers in Cornwall.
The first session included lessons in Cornish and songs well-known throughout the county.
Organiser Rhisiart Tal-e-bot said: "This is an idea which I have had for several years.
"This is about teaching parents how to bring up their children alongside our local heritage.
"There will also be classes run at the same time as the creche so that adults can learn a little about the county."
The Cornish creche is the latest in a number of initiatives designed to boost recognition of the Cornish language....
