The last reported person to have full knowledge of a traditional form of Cornish, John Davey, died in 1891.
A revival started in the early 20th century, and in 2010 UNESCO reclassified the language as critically endangered, stating that its former classification of the language as extinct was no longer accurate. The language has a growing number of second-language speakers, and a very small number of families now raise children to speak revived Cornish as a first language.
Modern Hebrew is also a child of Zionism. It differs significantly from liturgical Hebrew since it has a lot of influences from European languages. If I’m not mistaken, some Jewish communities believe it’s also a heresy to use the sacred language of the Scriptures in common speech.
If some comrade has more sources on how Jewish communities view modern Hebrew, I would appreciate it. I don’t know a lot of details.
Anyways, I didn’t know this. Hope Cornish keeps growing.
That’s my understanding.
Modern “Hebrew” is a disgusting bastardization of real Hebrew. If you see anyone speaking Hebrew you can assume they are absolute filth and you would be right 99% of the time.
Reject “Hebrew” and accept Ladino and Yiddish as Jewish languages. Those two are dying off due to the zionist entity’s efforts of erasing any culture not connected to “israel”.
Based.
There are many languages, almost always indigenous, that have been revived. But of course the zionists can’t help but act like they’re incredibly special.
