There are many students in other countries learning the Cornish language. Sometimes they have ancestors from Cornwall. They are the Cornish Diaspora. Perhaps the forefather was a miner or engineer, but there was other work overseas, too. And there is different work nowadays for men and for women. My student in America is a writer, with a false name, like Mark Twain. Her cowboy book is a Christmas present. You could, perhaps, find a cowherd in Cornwall but you won't find a cowboy (or cowgirl)!
