	Cornish accent
Anonymous	Posted: 05.02.2005, 21:13
Unregistered User	I was wondering if any body could help me with a pronunciation in a Cornish accent. I am researching the origins of the family name Perrin and need to know if there is a correlation between Perrin and Piran/Perran when pronunced in a Cornish accent. Cheers.

He speaks Cornish as well. www.justcornish.com I didn't realise he was Cornish, I always call into the shop when I'm home. I lived 2 doors from the shop for 26 yrs, and my brother was born there. the street is so quiet these days, it was full of shops when I was a child. Just Cornish is a great asset to the street.

Unregistered User	Does anyone know the whereabouts of someone called Acrobatic Tinman or is he just another of these puppets ?

The Southland accent is diffent from other parts of newZealand because southlander pronounce the 'R's so is quite broad. The influence of Scots in Dunedin means Dunedin is now 'more Scottish' than Scotland. But southland ,which is further south is where teh Southland acent which is probably influenced by Cornish who settled in te area. I welcome other comment
