I have to say that I visited the Brython site, after a certain someone pointed me in that direction(LOL) and was very impressed. I may contribute if I can!

I'd be very interested in this. Have done a bit of research on the Celtic history of Devon including what is left of its' Brythonic language, and am learning Unified Cornish revised. I would love to learn more and to share what I have learnt.

Worty and Sulla,
You are both welcome. LR is putting the final touches to the Brython site as I write which means we will soon be moving on to the next step of this project.
Keep your eyes here for more news.
Blessings, Craig <O>.

I would love to learn more and to share what I have learnt. Do you know how far east the area in which Cornish was spoken would have stretched? In Culhwch ac Olwen Arthur crosses the Severn estuary, at a place which must be where the first Severn Bridge was built, into his lands in Cornwall, which suggests this included not only Devon but parts of Somerset. The fact that he could move back and forth between there and Wales perhaps also suggests a mutual understanding between these two branches of Brythonic at this time.

Keep your eyes here for more news. Blessings, Craig <O>. Indeed, I'm beavering away in the background, I'll let you know as soon as it's up. Taking a little longer than hoped because work keeps getting in the way, but it'll be here soon.

Beware the ides of March old crow Indeed. I have done a slight revision to the old site and chhanged the host on that. People may need to make sure that if they have it bookmarked it's still pointing to the right place. That will have a few more minor changes in the next days.

The fact that he could move back and forth between there and Wales perhaps also suggests a mutual understanding between these two branches of Brythonic at this time. Indications are that Old Devonian and Cornish would have only varied very slightly in spelling (e.g. Devon would have been Deunans in Old Devonian and Dewnans in Cornish), and the spoken language would have been understood over a fairly wide area because of this. Exactly how far East Cornish itself would have stretched is difficult to estimate.

Exactly how far East Cornish itself would have stretched is difficult to estimate. Well, there are indications (primarily in placenames) that it could have stretched as far east as Dorset. Of course, this would be before the Saxon invasions, and before 500 or so CE it's not really sensible to speak of "Cornish" at this point, more just late Brythonic.

[Mes, me re redyas dha vos dhy ow tesky Kernowek, sulla! Pur dha dhys, ow hothman! Te a dhysk an yeth gans an lyver byan "Clappya Kernowek", gans NJA Williams? Yes, I am learning using Clappya Kernowek, as well as Williams' Gerlyver Sawsnek-Kernowek, although I wish I could find a Cornish to English one in UCR too. I've also just got Kernuak Es (A beginner's course in spoken Cornish) which comes with a CD. I do much better in a classroom environment though rather than on my own, I prefer interaction with other people, but here again classes in UCR are non-existent from what I can tell. I belonged to Agan Tavas until they were hacked, and am hoping they come back soon.

Only 8th? What have you been doing? Have you been falling asleep over the keyboard again? I suppose a job worth doing is worth doing well

Thanks Arth, that's appreciated, I'll keep you posted.
Just a heads up for people about Brython. It's a little stalled atm as I've been arguing with the webhost for some time now over the way their services have changed without prior warning, meaning that everything I had put together is essentially unusable. I'm at the point wher breach of contract is in discussion (keep away from WebFusin/Pipex). It seems this is something of a norm for Pipex. With work and a number of other unexpected things taking all my time up to the summer hols the public face is still veiled.
But end of July it gets my full attention, even if I have to start again. In the meantime we've pretty much got all the backroom stuff sorted.

if you are having problems, i know of a serveer and host you might want to go with instead.
i dont know fo what you require and costing involved, but if you like i can give you the details.
essentially, pentacle magazine has its own dedicated server now for the online community side and they are looking to also host pagan sites.
i can put you in touch with the chap in charge if needs be to see whther it will be better suited to what you want/need.

Things are just beginning to move again - LR has sorted out getting the correct hosting package, so the password protected areas of the site can now be sorted out. We're hoping to have everything up by the end of this month
