A few months ago the leaders of the Cornish community finally adopted a standard written form for the Cornish language. It will allow for a few variations but overall it standardizes a language that up until now had about four different written versions. It will remain in effect and be re-evaluated in 5 years time.
This is a big move forward for the Cornish language. It means the squabbling over spelling differences can be set aside and the community can rally around their common language. They can now have standard street signs, learning materials, newspapers and other publications, etc.
I have found the different spellings difficult and I have been looking forward to this. While researching the new changes I came across this site with news and podcasts in Cornish :
