A series of short films has been produced in Cornish (with English subtitles).

I know Tumblr loves a Celtic language, so please show these some love, and then maybe more media will get produced yn Kernowek.

the cornish lotr project is actually so beautiful when you consider how it is translated from an english translation of [an] imaginary constructed ancient language[s] into a [re]constructed modern ancient [celtic] language

a link here. no idea when it was last updated but i believe it is ongoing, havent been following it because it is FAR too advanced for me if im quite honest

#kernewek #kernowek #its a shame tolkien never studied cornish #he studied welsh i believe; and took inspiration from it for the elvish language #its clear (IMHO) that the hobbits are culturally cornish or atleast devonian

I don’t suppose anyone on here has any recommended resources for learning Kernowek?

It’s my intention to do more language learning this year and while I have a couple books for my Chinese studies, I have yet to pick up anything for Kernowek. I think it would be nice to be a bit more intentional about it.

[howmanyblogsdoineed]

Here's a sample so you guys understand.

My name is Sevi Chi Nowydh, I am 35 years old and am from Mevagissey, Kernow. You may know it as Cornwall, a region in southwest England. It's a small land but it's quite lovely with brae a coastline and so much sight to see. Gashly if you missed it, but alas not all outsiders are given the chance to see a land with such a bloody beautiful environment. But when you've seen such a sight for so much your life, it gets repetitive and repetitive.

But ain't what repetitive? Those.

I'm right now waiting for the echoing in my ears to go away but never they will. So many years agone this wouldn't happen, but now it does. I'm cursed, I'm given stress. I'm targeted and I'm tormented. The echoing sounds like whispering, whispering of a woman, yet I look over shoulder and nothing be there. She say, "We all watchy you. We all see you. Escaping be the unavailable…"

"The unavailable, say she…" I repeat aloud, quietly muttering about afterward but I know I show no comprehensibility. Perhaps, daresay I, that I shouldn't be to a public transport saying such. I'm on Great Western Railway with my husband, Ynyr. Heading to Penzance, it's 15:22, we should get there on 15:58 or sooner! Or later.

"The unavailable? Daresay… I ask why?" Ynyr asks me the biggest question, slowly he speaks but such factor does not diminish the unanswerable it is. I fossick thy cauch of an internalised processor I hold and groan, there be no answer. "Wasson?"

"There be no answer, me ansome. She give no answer, such dilemma means no gazol to respond with. Tis quite despair, but it be truth. I should be lying if I say I met a response," I say to him, feeling breath catch in my throat just some. Tis a ticking bomb, I have not more than 30 minutes until it blows and is only 15:24. "30 minutes."

not to be Cornish but it is genuinely so… awful how people getting into “serious witchcraft/tradcraft” pick up Cornish witchery books without ever knowing where Kernow is on a map. Do they know our culture is struggling? The housing crisis in Kernow? The fact kernow isn’t England? Do they even know that Cornwall speaks Kernowek?

It is simply tiring seeing another “beginner tradcraft reading list” and kernow is tossed in without thought or care.

So first of all, I am an avid lover of Sargentum and I love your world building and costume designs, they're gorgeous. I was wondering, how did you come up with the names for your characters? Did you derive them from folklore and history?

thank you!!!! i'm sorry i'm getting to this ask so late, and i'm glad you like them! sargentum is something i'll be revisiting when i can, because i'm still so fond of my world and characters, but i really want to go back to the start and re-do it with the art and storytelling skills i have now.

the names in-universe are a weird one - first section of the story takes place in a historical fantasy version of cornwall, uk. being a fantasy version, cornwall (kernow) is still a separate state here - and the cornish language (kernowek) is still the lingua franca (irl it was drowned out by english), most names being derived from this.

HOWEVER! i started planning this comic when i was 17/18 and didn't think about things that hard, which is why archer has an english-language name, and orelie is sort of latinate. i just really liked the names! these guys wouldn't even really be speaking english.

the penhallow surname, though, is cornish - it means 'head/lord of the moors' which i thought was fitting for a family that lives in a crumbling manor house on the edge of bodmin moor.

orelie's surname, angove, comes from the cornish 'an gof', literally: 'the smith'. this hints at a very sliiightly more new money origin for her family - it's also kind of plain and grounded, which fits her personality.

the witch (can't remember if her name is said in-comic?) is called eoforhild (pronouced ever-ild) - an old english name that meant boar spearer. this is because she's originally from saxon kingdom of wessex, which still exists as kingdom in this universe - AND I WILL stop myself right here before i ramble into oblivion!!!! i'm so sorry!! i really love names and etymology and how it links to place and time and because the sargentum universe is a Mess of different historical eras and cultures these names can get kinda hard to explain without a trillion word essay, but i hope this clears some stuff up!

(also for anyone curious, this is in reference to my webcomic that i currently have on hold/am planning to revamp)

#also if i go on further i will entirely give away the witch's backstory which is kinda the spine of the whole plot of the comic #the names are the perfect example of my 'painful exacting research' being contrasted with my other method of 'this seems cool bung it in' #this turned into a big worldbuilding essay and i had to actively edit chunks out to not ramble HELP #sometimes i use cornish swears so i can get away with orelie saying 'oh‚ fuck off' to archer #sargentum #ask

Who wants to read a bilingual write up of the antifascist action in Newquay last Sunday?

[watches-and-windchimes]

Some Cornish terminology for you:

Cornwall - Kernow

Cornish - Kernewek, Kernowek

Cornishman - Kernow (pl. Kernowyon)

Cornishwoman - Kernewes (pl. Kernewesow)

Cornish speaker (m) - Kerneweger (pl. Kernewegoryon)

Cornish speaker (f) - Kernewegores (pl. Kernewegoresow)

This guide is in Middle Cornish (Kernewek Kres) in Standard Written Form (Furv Skrifys Savonek). Late Cornish (Kernowek Diwedhes) generally replaces the "e" in the "kernew-" particle with an "o". So "Kernewek" becomes "Kernowek" etc

#kernewek #kernow #Cornish #celtic languages #i think there are some gender neutral terms floating around but i can't find them right now #and a lot of people are in favor of just using the masculine term for all genders anyhow #like a lot of european languages the masculine term is neutral in the plural

AF&JR History - Pt.7: 1880s:

In 1880, the Foxhill & District Colliery Co decided they required a shunting engine of their own, and bought a six-wheels-coupled saddle tank, second hand and of unknown antecedents, which they Christened 'Jess'. Her works plates proudly proclaim her as a product of the Vulcan Foundry, Newton-le-Willows, 1878. However the locomotive as she now exists bears little resemblance to any other Vulcan product, and she contains a number of foreign components. Her wheels are of a most attractive and yet obscure pattern, the spokes being shaped something like flower petals - it is unknown when or where she acquired them. She carries several components bearing the inscription 'Ajax Foundry - Newquay' - this firm was founded by one A. Innear, who we came across previous at the demolition of 'Longridge'- his Company was and is regularly in contact with the AF&JR, and still produces many castings and does much machining work for the latter. The presence of these parts, therefore, can be ascribed to in-service replacements which give no help as to identifying her origins. Also unknown is the location(s) at which she spent her first two years, if indeed 1878 was her construction date - it will be remembered she was acquired by the F&DCCo. in 1880 - there is a shocking gap in her history, during which time, one reflects, she could have been altered innumerable times.

At this time, the Company put out a call for a Locomotive Superintendent, so one Mr. Kernowek, on prompting fom his wife to get a more settled job then his current occupation as an AF&JR engineman, applied, and was accepted. As of 1902 he is still there, and is the only person in the area to have even the slightest grasp on the Cornish language - he has said he is teaching the native tongue to both 'Jess' and the 'Ashwell'. Incidentally, when 'Jess' was first taken up the route to the colliery, she succeeded in disturbing much of the tighter trackwork with her fixed wheelbase, leading to the removal of her front coupling rods - she now runs as a 2-4-0ST. It is theorised, him being the closest person to 'Jess' as is yet known, that Mr. Kernowek knows rather more about her origins then is let on - however I am assured that any questions will be recieved with a raised eyebrow and a nod to her ovoid brass maker's plate.

In the latter portion of the 1880s, not much went on along the AF&JR. 'Foxhill' gained a handbrake, (at last!) and various new wagons were added to the roster (the fleet had been growing all the life of the Company) but otherwise things were uneventful. The only incidents of any gravity were a two-day colliery strike in 1889, and a derailment which involved 'Ashwell' coming adrift on a set of points. She was uninjured by the accident, set back on the rails, and continued on her way unimpeded.
