Cornish language revives on back of psych-pop and Covid

Significant rise in number of people taking lessons amid surge in interest in language declared extinct a decade ago

The ancient Cornish language has been declared dehwelans dhyworth an marow - back from the dead - amid a surge in popularity thanks to Covid-19 and a critically acclaimed psych-pop star.

There has been a significant rise in the number of people learning Cornish since the pandemic lockdown forced classes online, according to the volunteer network An Rosweyth.
