Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of the Cornish language, a dialect of the ancient British tongue that has long been spoken in the southwest of England. The author, a scholar of his time, meticulously investigates the origins and evolution of this language, tracing its roots back to the original Hebrew tongue and exploring its connections to other ancient languages such as Chaldean, Syriac, and Greek. Through a detailed analysis of historical documents, including the Cotton Library manuscript, and by comparing the Cornish language to its counterparts in Wales and Brittany, the author argues that Cornish, unlike other British dialects, retains a purer form of the ancient language. The book examines the gradual decline of the Cornish language, its displacement by the Saxon tongue, and the subsequent efforts by scholars and antiquarians to preserve and revive it. This work offers a captivating and insightful journey into the rich history and cultural significance of the Cornish language, shedding light on a unique and often overlooked aspect of British linguistic heritage.
