beautiful fantasy in my mind where ireland wins eurovision with a gaeilge song. where there are more scots language protections in scotland than english language institutions. gàidhlig programming, language films, etc. kernewek is taught regularly in schools. people know that manx exists. tourists have access to widely-printed cymraeg translation books and they pronounce things wrong but they DO THEIR BEST

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! In all the Celtic languages
ors + eghek
strange cornish discovery: the verb 'defendya', although sometimes used to mean 'defend', also conveys the meaning of 'to except, to rule out, to eliminate. to erase'.
apparently the latin 'defendo' also has a dual meaning (to defend, also, to drive away). etymology of the 'fend' part is ambiguous, but cf. 'offend'
similar case to 'comprehendya' which does not mean 'to comprehend (konvedhes)' but instead 'to include'. comprehendo has a FUCK load of definitions apparently (im so sorry latinists) but the etymology is con (together) prehendo (to seize, to grasp, which makes sense.
must remember these.

Bestys yn Kernewek “Beasties in Cornish”
'Ffrindiau ffals'
ynter kembrek ha kernewek
(disclaimer: i dont speak welsh and im still a learner of cornish, these are just some things ive noticed)
cornish and welsh are sister languages and thus very similar, sharing a lot of key vocabulary; but there are also a lot of words which seem alike yet are completely different
dhymm vs ddim
dhymm in cornish is a contraction of 'dhe' (to) and 'my' (me), in welsh i believe that would be 'i mi/fi', completely different to welsh ddim (soft mutation of dim, negative particle). i imagine this is the most confusing part of cornish for a welsh speaker.
salow vs salw
salow means safe in cornish, but salw in welsh means ugly or horrible! how strange
kows vs caws
caws means cheese in welsh, the cornish for cheese is 'keus', but kows in cornish means to chat or to talk. sometimes its even spelled 'cows'!
hardh vs hardd
in welsh, hardd means beautiful; but hardh in cornish means bold or brave. i suppose boldness is attractive?
divlas vs diflas
both of these essentially mean 'tasteless', but the sense of it in welsh seems to be 'boring', whereas in cornish it means disgusting or distasteful.
(will probably add more. eventually.)
the evil experience of learning a seldom spoken language where there isn't much media in it
"watch TV shows in your language!" There are none
"listen to podcasts in your language!" I have unfortunate news
"listen to native speakers!" there's like ten and they live on another continent
I think that one of the most key parts of revitalizing or just keeping a language alive is being able to actually live in it - I could be the most fluent speaker of Cornish in the world but it wouldn't do much if i couldn't listen to music, or watch films, or read literature in Cornish, and partake in things that are made by other Cornish speakers. Engaging in the media is part of what allows you to live your life in a language.
