Cornish was another community language spoken until the 1700.s, when it saw its almost complete demise. Today, though, it is undergoing a resurrection that began at the beginning of the 1900.s, and is protected under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. Relatively few locals of Cornwall still speak the language. Despite this fact, literature and textbooks continue to be printed in Cornish and it continues to be taught in certain schools in order to revive it as a minority tongue.
