Never mind that, what is ‘coated poultry’? A chicken in a puffer jacket?
Breaded, battered, things like Kievs? Like the background of the sign?

I keep trying to match it to any language that I know, and just draw a blank. Celtic dialects (which I think this is?) broke off about 300 years earlier from the main Indo-European branch than Germanic dialects did, and the divide is real.
I wonder if Irish/Scottish/Gaelic speakers can pick out anything
I enjoyed this video, it’s funny because the Cornish accent is the same in Cornish as it is in English
I don’t mean to be rude but isn’t Cornish an extinct language with only 400-500 modern native speakers? That said it is kind of dumb for them to put Welsh in Cornwall. Feels like they are digging themselves a hole. Though I do wonder if there are more Welsh speaking people in Cornwall then Cornish?
That’s pretty much what she said in the video. I have mixed feelings about reviving languages that had been dead more than a century, as I get strange nationalist tingles at the back of my neck.
But if they’re doing it for fun, then that’s fine
There’s some debate on when Cornish actually died out quite a few accounts well into the 1800s of fishermen speaking it here and there. Half the problem with Kernewek is poor written records towards the end of its decline.
Ah sorry I did not watch the video. Yeah fair enough. Maybe they can add a QR Code that links to a website about the language? Though I don’t think many people would be super annoyed.
True, and we may have lost immunity over the years so it could be dangerous
you lost me

Those are from the Q-celtic branch. Cornish, Breton and Welsh are P-celtic. They are pretty different.
