Help[Opinions] Re: Cornish Names (and a question about Cornish culture)
in reply to a message by erb816
I like Piran & Senara & Jago & Jolyon & Eseld.
Cornish is officially a revived language. It was extinct in any real sense by the end of the 18th century, although there were still people around who claimed knowledge of it after that. Now there are classes in it and a few broadcasts, and there were apparently around 2000 people who claimed to be fluent Cornish speakers in the last census.
Some history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_language
