"A Dying Language Spoken Fluently By Fewer Than 1000 People"

"A Dying Language Spoken Fluently By Fewer Than 1000 People"

 ....well that's according to a review of 'Le Kov', newly released album of fabulous musical talent, Cornish speaking Gwenno,  carried by the widely read newspaper, 'The London Evening Standard'.

A link to the article is here:  https://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/music/albums-of-the-week-moby-gwenno-and-jonathan-wilson-a3780431.html

and a photo of the newspaper's print edition is attached. It was flagged to us by several of our followers on our flagship Facebook site, 'The Cornish are a Nation' who were annoyed by this latest 'dying language' put down, so beloved by the media and anti Cornish trolls.

Where do they get "dying" from, other than wishful thinking? It's GROWING! The number of people who are able to use competent Cornish today equates to around 12% of the total number of native speakers who existed at any one given moment since Norman times.  The many classes are chockful of students wanting to learn it.  

May we invite one and all to put this newspaper and its staff and readers right, including Cornish language from those who have knowledge of same?
