___________________________________________
We are pleased to announce that on Monday 18th
January 2016, Mark Trevethan will be starting in
the Cornish Language Unit as the new Cornish
Language Lead.
Mark comes from a local government background
and brings his experience as a Cornish teacher at the
London class and is a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh.
He will be responsible for driving the language
strategy and supporting the rollout of Cornwall
Council’s language plan.
“I'm very excited to be starting as the Cornish
Language Lead early in the New Year. My
grandfather taught me the importance of Cornish
from an early age and he would have been very
proud - both of me and of what has been achieved
for the language, especially in recent years by
MAGA. I want to make sure that the new structure
builds on this momentum. I am particularly
interested in finding ways to make the language
more accessible and I look forward to working
with all the groups and individuals who are already
promoting the language across Cornwall.”
We hope that you will join us in giving Mark a warm
welcome.

As I come to the end of my time with Maga, I
would like to take this opportunity through the
newsletter to thank all of you who have supported
and taken part in the work of the Partnership over
the past ten years.
It has been an interesting journey and while we may
not have gone as fast as we would have liked at times,
we have made some major steps forward.
Looking at this newsletter, we now have a council
with its own dedicated language plan which is taking
on the responsibility for the strategic development
of Cornish, public bodies such as English Heritage
working with Cornish, prize-winning Cornish
language music initiatives and major projects such
as Taves an Tir. We have good numbers of students
in classes and more than 1200 online learners. We
have a new Academy ready to start work, a new
research website to be launched after Christmas and
a translation service which is working harder than
ever, due to increasing use of Cornish by businesses,
public services and individuals. More than 20%
of the street names in Cornwall are now bilingual,
Cornish is more visible in the landscape and our
presence on the internet and through social media is
extensive – and not only in Speak Cornish week.
The progress is due to the hard work of all those
who speak Cornish, learn Cornish and contribute by
using the language, by teaching and by taking part in
activities and projects and I would like to celebrate
that before we all focus again on the tasks ahead.
On a personal note I would like particularly to thank
the Maga staff past and present – Sam, Mike, Pol,
Matt and Elizabeth - those who took part in the
Management Board and Partnership, Council staff
and members and many others from other language
communities for all their help and support. I look
forward to continuing my involvement with Cornish
in a different way! Nadelik Lowen.

Language plans have been a requirement in Wales
and Scotland for some time, but this is the first of
its kind in Cornwall. The plan sets out a number
of actions including the use of Cornish phrases by
call centre and reception staff, the use of Cornish
in signage, on business cards and in emails. It also
commits the council to maintaining its support
through a language officer and working towards
further recognition for the language. The plan will be
monitored annually by the Cabinet.
We hope other councils and organisations will follow
Cornwall Council’s lead and introduce their own
language plans!

Maga have been working with English Heritage for
some while to help with integrating Cornish into some
of their work in Cornwall.
The new visitor centre at Tintagel, which opened
recently, is an exciting project. There is bilingual signage
for the offices, café and visitor centre as well as in the
exhibition itself, which is excellent and well worth a visit.
The project is not yet completed and we are currently
working on further translation for the rest of the
development. At the opening, the guides at the site said
that the public reaction to the use of the language had
been very good.
It has been very exciting to work with English Heritage
and help to incorporate Cornish into the project in a
meaningful way. We hope to work further with them in
future.

December 2015 / January 2016
In 2015 Cornwall Council has reviewed its work in
support of the Cornish Language, commissioning
a new strategy and putting in place new structures
both for the strategic direction of the language and
the delivery of the work programme.
The new strategy has identified four overarching aims
as the focus for future language policy and planning
initiatives in relation to Cornish:
• the need to increase the numbers of Cornish
speakers,
• the need to increase the use of Cornish as a
community language,
• the need to maintain and increase the profile and
status afforded to Cornish in public life, and
• the need to maintain and develop Cornish as
a dynamic language that can be used for a full
range of purposes in all fields of human activity.
In addition, as part of the new approach, more funding
will be invested with third party organisations in the
private, public and voluntary sectors to develop and
deliver new projects and programmes of activity in
support of the overall strategy.
This grant fund opportunity provides the next step
in this process and will seek to build on services and
provision previously delivered in house by the MAGA
team.
Please see below for details of current open funds,
application forms and closing dates:
The deadline for applications is 20th January 2016.

The Indigenous and Minority Languages Working
group of the British Irish Council held a conference
in November on the subject of Language technology
which inspired a lot of ideas for future projects.
Talks ranged from the advantages and disadvantages of
machine translation to language apps and the possibility
of sharing resources. It looked at some of the innovative
technological solutions to the problems of working with
small languages and also set up a group of interested
parties to help the exchange of ideas in this area in the
future.
One session was devoted to the smaller languages
represented, where Mike Tresidder from Maga talked
about some of the online learning opportunities that
have been trialled in Cornwall.

Keur heb Hanow have released their first CD, just
in time for Christmas! The album of Cornish carols
December 2015 / January 2016
sung in Cornish will be an essential part of the
celebrations this year, so make sure you get yours in
time!
A small, six-part, mixed-voice choir from West
Cornwall, Keur heb Hanow have won the Traditional
Cornish Carols class at the Cornwall Music Festival
in Truro three times in a row. Many of the Cornish
carols are well known to listeners but there are also
less familiar works, such as the Penzance carol by
William Viner, and the choir hope that CDs such as
this help to keep them alive.
The carols have been translated into Cornish by John
Parker and Ken George and all the words, both in
Cornish and in English, can be found in the leaflet
that accompanies the CD, which was produced with
the generous support of the Arts Council Trust’s
FEAST programme and many members of the
Cornish Language community via crowdfunding.
