Here on the 大象传媒 Cornwall website we want to know how the people of the
Duchy talk today.
We're launching
a project all about language, accents and dialects across the British
Isles and want you to share your thoughts on the way we talk across the
county.
Never mind
the difference in dialect from Scotland to Ireland, England to Wales -
here in Cornwall we know the meaning of words change from north to south
and east to west of the county.
Cornish Language.
More young people have been taking up the Cornish language
in schools. Many people of different ages have attended Cornish lessons
to learn more about this important celtic language.
Here on the 大象传媒 Cornwall website we have a series of
Basic Cornish lessons. You will learn what Myttin da! and Gorthugher da!
mean.
Later in the series you can discover how to have basic
conversations in Cornish.
The lessons are available in audio and script form. to begin

Words used on a day-to-day basis in Cornwall change as
you visit different towns and villages.
