"Unusually for a minority language, despite some use in a small number of families (Renkó-Michelsén in prep.), almost all Cornish speakers are adult learners. Some have passed it to their children – a few of whom maintain it as adults – but there are no unbroken ancestral links to the spoken vernacular. These speakers are the result of a centuries-long effort to rebuild an almost lost language, and with it a new language community."
