Thanks for yur reply of Oct. 7.
It seems to be somewhat as I thought probable -- no exact commitment in the Book for Learning, as to whether this is a revival or a continuation, (your wording implies "revival"), but I thought I would check that out. There are very conflilcting reports on what is the actual status of Celtic languages in everyday use, as there is with Hawaiian and Tahitian. And I know through [Nancy Dorion]ʻs that Scottish Gaellic has the same dichotomy of whether to learn a "unified" version or a predominant dialect. Our friend [Suzanne Romaine] descirbes for Ireland much more everyday use of Irish than I had thought likely, judging from other sources.
At my age (78) I probably wonʻt get to any study of the Cornish language. I havenʻt yet looked into more than the merest rudiments of Irish and Scottish Gaelic, which are the first languages on my "to be learned" list. After them is Welsh.
Thanks, again
Roland

I donʻt know any Celtic languages, and this is just curiosity, but:
About [Rod Lyon]ʻs [Everyday Cornish}, I was curious whether he is unabashedly considering it as a revived language, or is claiming that it never died.
And his "...without all that grammar" of the subtitle:
Is he implying that a lot of others have been handling Cornish in the traditional grammatical way?
There seemed to be a parallel in my collection: [Modern Aramaic]; Assyrian-Syriac Dictionary and Phrase Book. . . . by [Nicholas Awde] . . . (et al.) I know hardly anything of Semitic languages (except a smattering of Hebrew), but I had always thought Aramaic was either a dead language, or limited to a few villages in Syria. Anway, as the title indicates, this one doesnʻt purport to teach the language. (The Aramaic words of it, oddly, are all in the Western alphabet.
There is a [ Jean Markale] book in my collection, but I donʻt know how to indicate that it is "shared" with any other LT memberʻs collection. Iʻve tried clicking on the 2 b ook icons and the cross icon at the right of the screen.
