“What a shame there isn't any interpretation to accompany this thread. What is the point may I ask? It stands a very good chance of being of the Cornish language that is a fact, but what is the intention behind this kind of approach?

In an attempt to promote and gain a little more interest in the Cornish language and yes this thread, would anyone be obliging enough to translate this wording below into Cornish please?

Cornish Lament

Away from it all now
my old body no longer of any use
No more tongues with venomous fangs
hurling their spite and abuse
Kernow was in my heart
and Cornish was all that I wanted to be
Keep on with the good fight
if not for others certainly for me.

BRITISH IRISH COUNCIL SEMINAR

On the 13th of November a
delegation from Cornwall consisting
of Rael Harvey, Esther Johns, Jenefer
Lowe, Rhisiart -Tal-e-bot and Mike
Tresidder attended a British Irish
Council seminar in Cardiff focused on
promoting indigenous, minority and
lesser-used languages through early
years education. The event provided
the attendees the opportunity to work
with delegates from across the IML(Indigenous, Minority and lesser-used
Languages) work sector in a series of
workshops and discussions.
(The IMLs the group concentrates on
are Irish, Welsh, Gaelic, Scots, Ulster
Scots, Manx, Jèrriais, Guernsey French
and Cornish).
Not only was the event useful to hear
about what other people are doing
from an early years educational
perspective and share good practice, it
also allowed the Cornish delegation
the opportunity to articulate our unique
circumstances to a wider audience.
Indeed, we think it's fair to say that, not only was a generosity of spirit
demonstrated towards the Cornish
experience as a whole, some
attendees felt we had practical lessons
and experiences that could be of use
in their own administrations.

** As an extra, note the similarity between 'Predennek' for British in Kernewek and the place name 'Predannack' on the Lizard Peninsula. Far-reaching historical significance, I would think.”

I did say "would anyone be obliging enough", clearly not you Mike.”

“Great reading. Thanks MapSerpren and Carvath. It is good to see Cornwall participating in the BIC.”

“You're about as Cornish as a Devonshire dumpling or a pork pie YC. LOL”

“@ youngcornwall - the use of the wonderful Cornish language is allowed by forum rules. I strongly suggest you read the rules.”

“yc nobody has grasped the idea because the only benefits are to a minority political agenda....where is the support for english based indigenous language ie ***bric or mercian or kentish or west saxon or northumbrian.

Does anyone really believe reece talbot has an interest in helping nurture any cultural stimulation outside his celtic clique....lol”

Yes I will take the scenic route for a little while on this one, you know about taking a horse to water and all that lol.”

“H_Trevorrow, there seems to be quite a need for language teaching and appreciation.

Rhisiart is the Welsh equivalent of English Richard, not Reece which is an anglicised form of Welsh Rhys.”
