How many people speak the Cornish language?

0. Cornish died out over 200 years ago! === === The last native Cornish person who could only speak Cornish was a lady called Dolly Pentreath who died in 1777 in Mousehole, Cornwall. The last people who had been taught by their parents to understand some Cornish and could speak some Cornish died out in the 1890's. However, almost as soon as the natural born speakers died out, a language revival movement began. As of present, according to the Cornish Language Society, around 1,000 people use Cornish as a day to day language.

Where are cornish people from?

There is a rumour circulating that the Cornish People do in fact come from Cornwall, but as I say this is just a rumour, please do not tell any Devonian Supervisors this. === === The Cornish are a nation of people who live, mainly, in Cornwall. The Cornish nation are distinct in so far as they have their own language (a bit like Welsh but unlike Welsh very few people now speak or understand it), their own history (they were an independent country for sometime but were eventually conquered by England in about 950AD) and they have their own cultural traditions. The name Cornwall comes from Cornuwealhas which means, literally the Cornish Welsh. The corn- part of the name is thought to derive from the Celtic word kern which means "horn" as in the horn of a cow. The name the Cornish give themselves is Kernewekmeaning the people of the horn. The reason the word "horn" is associated with Cornwall is because the peninsular is shaped like a horn or point. Clearly, given that their name refers specifically to the area in which they come from, the Cornish are from Cornwall. The Cornish Welsh just like the Welsh from Wales are both descended from the ancient Britons who lived in Britain before the English for many thousands of years.
