English[en]
For the English language is spoken as well as in any place in the country outside. Nor are the old people to be relied upon either, as you will see regarding this about the Mr Angwin, the greatest and oldest scholar amongst all the Cornish speakers of late. For asked to explain “Geverangow”, he thought about “gever”, and confused about “anko”, he said that it was “gever oll”, he knew about “gevern” but forgot about the word “kov”, derived from “porth en kov”.
