Another anthem for Kernow - with interesting lyrics! With the incursions from the east Cornwall was cut off from the Brythonic heartland of Wales and Cumbria. Then, many Cornish emigrated to Brittany taking their language with them. The three Brythonic nations are still intimately related, though the languages of Cymric and Cornish have died out. Cornish is going through a revival however among those who value the retention of Cornish culture and tradition. A study of Welsh and its pronunciation may assist this process, as well as highlighting the close similarities between the two branches of the Cymric language spoken throughout Britain during the Roman occupation as far north as Strathclyde..
"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP
