Not a Christian but as a Kernowyon learning Kernewek, this was splann! Your reading voice is lovely. Let us continue to fight for our land, culture, language and freedom from England. Onen hag oll, Kernow bys vyken!

My ancestors were Welsh. I don't have any family left in Wales, that I know of, but I still find the Brythonic languages and cultures to be fascinating. I'd like to visit Wales one day, but I'm sure nobody would have me.. haha. This video is really great.

Hy I am glad to hear Cornish language. In my opinion english people are originally celtic speaking Britons who were forced to speak language of Anglosaxons. In the future, I hope that Cornish will become official language in whole England. English would be a lingua franca as was Latin in middle ages. LET'S RETURN ORIGINAL LANGUAGE OF ENGLAND - CORNISH - LANGUAGE OF KING ARTHUR!!!
@LunasCraincloud I KNOW THAT!!! Picts were in Scotland and Britons in what is today England and Wales. So, Welsh and Cornish are THE ONLY REMAIN languages of the ancient Briton. Why wouldn't we revive it to the fullest in all England. English has become lingua franca of the world, especially the internet. Why not promote minority languages in a fashion by making them official?
I'll certainly be ordering the book Craig. Glad it is a hard cover, one of the ones you did in paperback that was printed in Cheshire I think fell apart before I could get it home from Cornwall to the States. I must admit though I used it a fair bit whilst wandering the moors.
@MichalPtacnik Yes, I know that. I heard some guy on RU-vid speaking Gaulish fluently. Just type 'Gaulish language' so You can hear it. Pity is that Romans colonized all Western Europe and now we lost Celtic, Iberic, Illyrian (part my ancestors) and other languages in favor of Vulgar Latin and Greek. But in my opinion, it would be AWESOME if British people would start to talk as King Arthur did in 5. century A.D. And French people Gaulish. I would introduce Illyrian in Croatia and Bosnia :)
Although many language learners, myself included, find it interesting learning languages and would like to see dead languages be revived, we have to understand that language and culture are two sides to the same coin. Language is an expression of individual thought through the lenses of cultural understand. Although it is possible to revive languages similar to what they were, we will never revive the true culture from which they came. E.g. we cannot revive 5th Century culture in a modern, ever changing world, so whichever language King Arthur did speak will never be spoke the same ever again. Furthermore, why just limit it to Western Europe? Why not revive Linear B in Greece, Ugaritic in Iran and Phoenician in Lebanon? I like what you are saying, but it is impractical and impossible.
@LunasCraincloud Well, French is not so wide spread as english is (USA, Canada, Australia, New Zeland...etc.) Also, Breton language is NOT NATIVE to France. GAULISH language is native to France. Gaulish has been extinct I think since late antiquity. We could also revive Gaulish in France, why not, but I don't think that there is enough vocabulary for reviving this language. Breton people came from Britain in the 6. century after Anglosaxon invasion.
@milekrizman You sir are out of you Split mind. There were at least 4 recorded Languages in the Albian and Breton regons, not to mention The Scoti Scotii Gael Gala Glig Ablab aine Manx and so on Outer spoken languages. Cornish is just one of those. I think it is a wonderful language but the idea that there was ever one spoken language in what was a tribal region with outer influence as far back as Rome and most probably farther.
@LunasCraincloud Are You Arab? King Arthur spoke arabic? Maybe he was a muslim too? Did You finish elementary school? I have a feeling that I am speaking with a 10-year old child.
Without getting mean to this reply, I will nicely say to you...yes it IS a Celtic language. But you did not read my comment well enough to understand in what context I meant to 'add something in a Celtic language.' We are writing in English, not in Welsh, Breton, Irish, Manx, Scottish Gaelic OR Cornish! Next time please read carefully before replying...I study Celtic languages and cultures so please refrain from any more ignorant replies. Look before you leap...
