E'n seythdegves cansbledhen Nicholas Boson (marchant dhort Newlyn) a scrifas an geryow ma. "Gun tavas Carnoack eu mar pell gwadnhez, uz na ellen skant quatiez tho e wellaz crefhe arta." Martesen ew gwell e'n kensa cansbledhen warn ügens. Ma lies deskybel en nebes gwlasow o madra an tavas. Anjei a venja y weles crefhe arta. Ma'n tavas o toas adro arta, ma esperans dhebm.
In the seventeenth century Nicholas Boson (a merchant from Newlyn) wrote these words. "Our Cornish tongue is so far weekened, that we can hardly hope to see it strengthen again." Perhaps it is better in the twenty-first century. There are many students in several countries studying the language. They would like to see it strengthen again. The language is recovering, I hope.
