message: I have added the phonology of Revived Middle Cornish as described in the "Kernewek dre Lyther" online course. Feel free to correct anything that may be wrong, but nothing should be. --76.22.80.16 (talk) 06:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Phonology added 

message: "While the various varieties of revived Cornish have had a rocky relationship with one another, this has had the positive effect of creating a publishing and writing boom in Cornish in general."
This statement is not supportable.  Since the 'rocky relationship' began, next to nothing has been published in Unified Cornish, Unified Cornish Revised, or Modern/Late Cornish.  In some cases you can count the number of publications on the fingers of one hand.
The publishing and writing boom has not been 'in general' but in Kernewek Kemmyn, which has seen a couple of hundred titles, and countless articles in the monthly magazine An Gannas.
An indication of the size of the publishing boom can be found on the Cornish Wikipedia at Lyenn Kernewek.  Users of all varieties of Cornish have been asked to update this list and the size of the Kernewek Kemmyn publishing boom, and distinct lack of publication boom in other varieties, is self-evident.

:The definition of a "boom" is subjective, but to claim that it is exclusively KK is nonsensical. Next to nothing? Please!!! I've seen some of it myself. It's largely down to the resources of each grouping, but certainly the "dialectic" has encouraged other groups to try and outdo each other, whether in translating sections of the Bible, producing editions of "John of Chyanor" in all its guises etc. The lack is not "self-evident" at all. --MacRusgail 17:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't intend to write a sectarian article, although I am well aware of these tendencies in the Cornish language movement. Much of the publishing is desktop and/or DIY. Nothing wrong with that. Worked for the punk movement. Perhaps "rocky relationship" is too euphemistic for the behaviour of certain people in several of the movements. --MacRusgail 15:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not my "rocky relationship" at all.  In fact, that's partly why I take an interest in Cornish, but not an active interest. This isn't slur, it's just trying to make the best of a bad thing, and I have heard some wild stories come out of the Cornish language movement. Not everyone writes Cornish to outdo another, but quite a few do... --MacRusgail 17:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Not acceptable indeed. You just tried to put words in my mouth - I removed the stuff you added to my post. I have no particular allegiance to any variety of Cornish, and the "he did, and she did" and "he started it" business leaves me bemused. What I said is not a slur - how could it be? By being in competition and trying to outcompete each other, you would in fact be doing something POSITIVE!!! Can't you understand that? The more stuff that comes out in Cornish, for whatever motive, the better. Please don't try and alter my replies again - that's "not acceptable". --MacRusgail 18:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Rocky relationship" 

message: The letter 'y' is listed as being a consonant, pronounced [j], and a vowel pronounced [ɪ] (or [ɪː]).
An indication when which pronunciation applies would be very helpful.
