The orthography, accidence and syntax throughout is Unified Cornish Revised, an emended form of revived Cornish that attempts as far as possible to imitate the Cornish of the sixteenth century and in particular the language of John Tregear, the writer of our longest prose text. No attempt has been made to “purify” the language of English borrowings, since the translator believes that the Cornish we use should reflect the language as it was actually spoken as an everyday language by Cornish people.
