First, we must talk about the death of languages. What is the death of a language, and how does this relate to Cornish? The death of a language can be described thus: In the field of linguistics the death of a language takes place when a language loses it last native speaker (for further details see: https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-language-death-1691215). If we apply this definition to Cornish, there must have been a last native speaker. So who was this person? If they existed at all.
