Translation:
The school is on the lefthand, cousins, and this is the church near
the garage of the teacher.
Comment:
Cornish is spoken in Cornwall (South-West England). It is a so
called p-Celtic language (that means it is related to Welsh and
Breton [spoken in Brittany, France]). Gaelic is a q-Celtic language:
a different branche of the celtic languages. The language is more
related to Breton than to Welsh. The language was almost died out
but it is undergoing a revival. I estimate that only about 300
people can speak it fluently and maintain a conversation; about
5,000 people can speak it on some lower level.
