Interesting number of words for "fart" in Breton 😳😁🤪 (We just have "bramm" in Cornish. "Bramm an gath!" ("the cat's fart") is a mild expression of annoyance 😼)

Ragov vy ynwedh 👍

Every time I visit Cornwall (I live in Cheshire) I see more and more businesses and organisations using the language in names and signs at least a little. And there's no-one making them do that, so they obviously feel it gives them a good image and is a positive thing... 😎

There are quite a few fluent Cornish speakers here on Bluesky. I would love to help but there are others here with better knowledge of the language than I have, so I'll share your post further. Meur ras for helping to get the language "out there" ☺️

Yes, "teg" means pretty / attractive in Cornish too. Of course there's some overlap in meaning between "teg" and "brav" — as there is between "beautiful" and "fine" in English — but they definitely both exist in Revived Cornish and have differing shades of meaning as well.

Pur dhe les arta! (Very interesting / useful again.) You've put "teg" as meaning "fine" in Cornish and Welsh, and "brav" (with less common "tek") as the Breton equivalent, but we use "brav" in Cornish to mean "fine" as well. "Teg" in Cornish also means "beautiful".

Looks like a reinterpretation of the middle part of the Cornwall coat of arms, with a jackdaw instead of a chough, and only one very big gold bezant... 😁

There are so many inexplicable and abnormal grammatical mistakes in this blog that I can only guess it's written by an AI bot. A poorly trained AI bot.

Also e.g. skovarn (ear) + -ek = skovarnek, "eared thing" = Cornish word for a hare. 🐰 And so on. "Kewsel" (the verb "to speak") MAY be connected with "wekw" — not sure — but the "-ek" suffix on Kernewek etc. isn't.

Um, the suffix on Kernowek (or Kernewek) isn't from "wekw" meaning "to speak". It's "-ek" — not "-wek" — and is an adjectival ending not confined to language names. Kembrek = Welsh; drenek = thorny; pyskek = abounding in fish, or place of many fish (the word can be an adjective or a noun). TBC...

Actually, the most common version of the Cornish legend says that Arthur was reincarnated as a chough (whose beak and legs are red with the blood Arthur shed in his last battle), and that's why the chough is a symbol of Cornwall...

Cornish clung on as living language beyond Dolly Pentreath, says writer Author of new book suggests Kernewek continued to be spoken in the 19th century, albeit in ‘tiny numbers’

"Scone" is in fact an Aussie slang term for "head", at least where I went to school (and to get "sconed" was to be hit in the head during sports, usually by a stray cricket ball or similar missile), so I don't know if that has anything to do with anything 🤪

🤣🤣🤣

Not to me they don't. But then I'm an Aussie (with Cornish ancestry), so maybe I just see everything upside down compared to you. 🙃

You do realise though, don't you, that a lot of Cornish people do not WANT Devon and Cornwall to "devolve together"... 🙄

Torquay!! 😁
