Kernow


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..
