    That’s pretty much what she said in the video. I have mixed feelings about reviving languages that had been dead more than a century, as I get strange nationalist tingles at the back of my neck.

    But if they’re doing it for fun, then that’s fine

      There’s some debate on when Cornish actually died out quite a few accounts well into the 1800s of fishermen speaking it here and there. Half the problem with Kernewek is poor written records towards the end of its decline.

      Ah sorry I did not watch the video. Yeah fair enough. Maybe they can add a QR Code that links to a website about the language? Though I don’t think many people would be super annoyed.
