Cornish national minority status anniversary highlights achievements and work still to do
Monday (24 April 2023) marks the ninth anniversary of the Cornish being recognised by the Government as a national minority which means that the Cornish have the right to express, preserve, share and develop their distinct culture and identity. ...Cornwall Councillor Dick Cole, Chair of the Council’s Cornish National Minority Working Group said: “Everyone who identifies as Cornish has the right to have their nationality recognised, and we’ve been working hard with limited resources to raise awareness of the Cornish as a national minority.” ...National minority status means that the proud history, unique culture, and distinctive language of Cornwall are fully recognised, and it affords the Cornish the same status under the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities as the UK’s other Celtic people: the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish.
