Oh I think you'll find England invents history too. Boris Johnson and John Major have talked about a thousand years of "British democracy". Since the British state is only 300 years old, and democracy younger than that, it's unlikely Norman pirates and thugs had a democracy themselves.

@alphasmokey definately.They both along with Breton are all in the same language family. With Cornish, there's no Q, X or Z in the alphabet and no C, just a 'CH' instead, pronounced 'cha', they just use K or S for C sounds, whereas correct me if I'm wrong but there's no 'K' in Welsh, they use a C instead

[alphasmokey]

The cornish language is very similar to Welsh but with more 'K's in their words

1. The highland bagpipes never came from the middle east the hgreat highland bagpipes came from scotland.

2. The highland kilt never came from ireland. the scots wore a liene like the irish. However. the kilt was developed in 16th century scotland.

"By the way, the Scots who seem to be wearing an English adaptation of an Irish"#

The story of thomas rawlson adapting the short kilt is hearsay and holds no relevence.

Looks like GarlicScotch is taking a bit of a pastyin' from the Cornish lad... ha ha ha... Bugger' off back to Brigadoon mr Garlic and don't come here insulting us.

Celtic brotherhood!!! Load of 5H1T in my opinion! Kernow bys vykken! Cornish and proud!

By the way, the Scots who seem to be wearing an English adaptation of an Irish costume ought to abandon the bagpipes too, seeing as they came from the middle east and were first noted in the British Isles by Geoffrey Chaucer, an Englishman. Yet another "phoney" Scotch tradition.... not much else left other than porridge really is there?

What exactly is an English last name? Silly line of argument here, the majority of Welsh people technically have "English" surnames or names derived from English does that make them not Welsh? Could you elucidate please? What exactly would you define an English name? I am sure Gordon Brown would be interested to know too.

[gaelicscots]

I am not disputing that there are no cornish names. I am saying thae the majority of cornish I met when I studied at falmouth, had english last names.

[malx1975]

Cornish names like Trevelyan, Tremethack, Vellenoweth, Penhaligon etc etc.

What about the Scots names, Livingstone, Bell, Armstrong, Flemming, Lyon, Graham? Gaelic are they?

What about the Welsh names, Jones, Williams, Davies, Roberts, going to tell Shane Williams he isn't Welsh now are you? Silly Scotchman, go and fry a mars bar and stop making a fool of yourself here.

[gaelicscots]

funny how the vast majority of cornish have english last names.

[malx1975]

No surprise that the secretary of the tartans authority and the curator of the tartans musem would deny such claims? Think of all the tourist money they would lose when the Americans and Canadians stopped buying their "authentic Scotch kilts"...LOL!!! It seems that the Irish also claim the kilt then, and seeing as the Scots are basically Irish immigrants on Brythonic soil I think you are dodgy ground laying into the Cornish as you have done.
