How far do you think that Cornish is a natural langauge, these days? I got the impression that in order to create a functional language form the remnant, they synthesised something from large amounts of Welsh and Breton in the 70s and integrated it with what was left from the remaining cornish speakers. I don't know if that's true though; people have a surprising capacity to talk jive about language which I guess goes back to its' power as an expression of identity. So people might be claiming that 'cornish' is an artificial identity, by attacking cornish as a synthetic language.
Cumbric FTW.
