We are currently unable to answer phone calls made to the Cornish Language Office. If you would like to contact the office, please email cornishlanguage@cornwall.gov.uk and we will respond to your enquiry.
The Cornish language is in a stronger state than it has been for a long time, but just like all small languages, there is a need for a programme to protect, support and develop the language. Cornwall Council leads the Cornish language programme which is made up of four main parts: Status, Use, Acquisition and Corpus. The aim of the programme is to increase the number of Cornish speakers and create more opportunities to use Cornish.
