last visit: 13.05.08 		Thanks all for the good news - it may have been announced in other places but Cornwall24 is the place I first saw it. Well done to all those organisations and individuals that have been working had over many years for the language. It was a bit of a struggle when I started - a few basic language books for adults who knew a bit about learning a language already - but this funding should be great for producing material for children whether being taught by parents or in school and older students alike. A few more people employed to promote and produce teaching/learning material may be on the cards in the near future I assume. Having said that the unpaid enthusiasm of past and present supporters of the language have done an amazing job. Again well done everyone involved!!

last visit: 17.02.07 		It's very good news for Kernow, but i personally think those involved in all areas of Kernewek from the language boards to the speakers have to get together and discuss which version of Kernewek is going to be funded and progress with that particular version. My worry is that the academics who i think are the problem of the Kernewek version problem will not agree and it will all fall through. Kernewek is spoken the same in all three versions, so we really only need one version, i really hope it all works out though.

It's the one thing that stops me going the whole hog on our language learning. I don't want to spend more money on books before there is an official decision. I personally prefer Kemmyn but recent Celtic language academics tend to favour UCR. All thoughts would be appreciated!

last visit: 03.05.08 		Dyth da, meur ras and mar plek - that's the version I know the best. I only know a little that I've picked up through friends.

Which one is it? Unified, Old or Middle Cornish? What is Kemmyn?
