All four variants were in use amongst speakers and students, and despite the differences in focus and academic approach, were all mutually intelligible. It was decided, however, that in order to progress the language to its fullest potential, a standard written form should be agreed upon for use in public life and schools, though each of the forms might well continue alongside this as they were all valid, academically valuable and highly researched variations of the language. The process for deciding upon the standard written form drew upon the knowledge of a wide range of Cornish users as well as the experience and advice of a Commission composed of eminent language experts with knowledge of similar situations elsewhere. All Cornish speakers were able to feed in their views, which formed a body of evidence to the Commission. The report from the Commission can be found on this website. The process resulted in the adoption of a Standard Written Form which draws from all of the systems used by speakers . This is now in use in formal education and public life and has already resulted in a greater use of the language in these areas of work, with new resources for schools and a new found enthusiasm for Cornish among public bodies. Speakers may continue to use whichever form they wish in private life, but the Standard Form enables greater strides to be made in developing the language publicly. It is our hope that all those involved with Cornish can now move forward together to take the language into the future.
