Cornish is the Celtic language of Cornwall and is recognised as a minority language under the Council of Europe's Charter for Regional or Minority languages. It's closely related to welsh and Breton, and more distantly to Irish, scots Gaelic and Manx. As well as being visible in place names around Cornwall it is also a thriving community language, with an increasing number of people learning and using it.
