520 _a"A Handbook of the Cornish Language" by Henry Jenner is a linguistic guide written in the early 20th century. The book serves primarily as a resource for individuals of Cornish nationality seeking to learn their ancient language, focusing particularly on its later stages while also providing a historical context and insights into Cornish literature. Jenner's work is aimed at a general audience rather than specialists, emphasizing accessibility for learners who wish to read, write, and potentially speak the Cornish language. The opening of this handbook establishes the author's intent to serve the Cornish community by offering a practical understanding of the Cornish language, alongside an overview of its historical development. Jenner explains the rationale for learning Cornish despite its limited practicality today, framing it as a matter of cultural identity and sentiment. He discusses the inconsistencies in spelling and grammar that learners may encounter, ultimately advocating for a modified spelling system tailored for modern students. The introduction sets the stage for a thorough exploration of the language's evolution and aims to support a revival of interest in Cornish linguistic heritage.
