Synopsis

This book explores the grammar of the Cornish language. Cornish, a Celtic language, is described through the author's notes on an ancient and complex set of plays. Through these observations, the author details the construction of nouns, verbs, pronouns, and other elements that form the basis of Cornish grammar. These observations are placed in the context of the broader development of Celtic languages and the distinctive features that set Cornish apart. The author interweaves poetic examples with technical breakdowns to provide readers with a guide that assists with both the linguistic analysis and readerly enjoyment of Cornish works. This book is an essential resource for readers interested in Celtic languages, historical linguistics, and the preservation of endangered language traditions.
