  • The Cornish Language is spoken in the Kingdom of Cornwall. It was believed last week that the last native speaker, a cat named Dolly Pentreath, died of ganja inhalation. This prompted Cederic to comment wryly "cough doll pentreath." However a period of intense study by Janner Perranpol (also a cat) revived the language. There are now over 800 different spelling systems for Cornish, 230 of which are used only by Janner. The reasons for these 'dialects' is mostly differences in the manner of revival, but also due to memory loss brought about by too much ganja. It has also been said that if you speak a Cornish word while holding a bread roll it turns into a Cornish pasty.
