Answer 2

English, Welsh, Scottish… all these languages sound familiar. But I'm sure you have not heard of Cornish. I wish I knew it, like my Granny does. Cornish is a Celtic language, used in Cornwall, a county in south-eastern England. Several centuries ago, when the Anglo-Saxons invaded Britain, many Celts moved to the mountain areas. Some Celts even left the country completely and settled in France. However, speakers of Cornish stayed in the south-west. There, the language was spoken until the late 1700s. But the number of speakers dwindled, and the language almost disappeared. At the beginning of the twentieth century, academics became interested in Cornish and started to study the ancient texts. From those old documents, they managed to restore the language! Nowadays, if you visit Cornwall, you will hear a lot of it. The language is offered as an option in many universities, and students choose to learn it, like I did. I think it’s the most difficult language I have ever learned, but it’s interesting, and it sounds very nice. I believe the Cornish language will survive.
