	Kernowak: A proposed Standard Written Form for the Cornish language

However, implementation is difficult for impecunious voluntary bodies. Much time and expense last year went into defeating spurious legal attacks. When the current assault has been seen off, it'll be possible to concentrate on the real work.

That wouldn't by any chance have been in connection with the shoddy edition of 'The Life of Ke' which the Kesva published last year, would it? You know, the one where the National Library of Wales protested to the Kesva that they had broken a copyright agreement by publishing an unauthorised editon of the manuscript? If so, surely the Kesva brought it upon themselves by playing fast and loose with the copyright laws. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - KS: selven an Furf Screfys Savonek? -- Ya, hep wow!

We also need information on demographics - age, sex, income, etc. Who takes an interest in Cornish? Who starts learning? Who actually uses the language, and for what purposes?

The NLW backed off, and claimed they'd been acting in the interests of the publishers of the second edition of the play. Members of their staff want to mend fences with the Cornish. A Member of the National Assembly condemned the bullying of Kesva, and called for the manuscript to be sent back to Cornwall.

'Cragh varth' might suit your poetaster tendencies more aptly!), Please answer the questions: -- what 'spurious legal attacks'? -- what 'current assaults'?
