This week it is Speak Cornish Week. The word "speak" is important. We would like everyone to talk our language - the spelling doesn't matter. We would like to hear the language. Reading is OK, but listening is better. The Cornish language is important for Cornwall itself, and for those with Cornish roots - but we are happy for people in many countries to talk Cornish as well. Watch this video - there's a young man in New Zealand saying "Hello (Good day)" - one of our "Five a Day".
