    I don’t mean to be rude but isn’t Cornish an extinct language with only 400-500 modern native speakers? That said it is kind of dumb for them to put Welsh in Cornwall. Feels like they are digging themselves a hole. Though I do wonder if there are more Welsh speaking people in Cornwall then Cornish?

      That’s pretty much what she said in the video. I have mixed feelings about reviving languages that had been dead more than a century, as I get strange nationalist tingles at the back of my neck.

      But if they’re doing it for fun, then that’s fine
