Desky Kernowek, a complete guide to Cornish, is aimed at both
beginners and the more advanced student. The book uses Standard
Cornish, an orthography that is at once authentic and wholly
phonetic. The whole grammar of Cornish is discussed in Desky
Kernowek and both Middle and Late Cornish variants are
accommodated. All points of grammar and vocabulary are exemplified
by instances from the traditional texts in the original spelling. A
key to the exercises is given at the end of the book for those
learning Cornish by themselves. Desky Kernowek contains a
comprehensive phrase-book taken exclusively from traditional
Cornish. It also contains a detailed discussion of initial
mutation, and a section on verbal usage. The book contains both
Cornish-English and English-Cornish glossaries and a full index of
subjects. -- The section on pronunciation and spelling was written
by Michael Everson, a leading expert on writing systems. Professor
Nicholas Williams, the author of Desky Kernowek, has been described
by Philip Payton, Director of the Institute of Cornish Studies of
the University of Exeter, as "the foremost scholar of the Cornish
language."
