<DIV>Tom,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a word for this 'cultural false consciousness'. A good
example of this was Councillr Morwenna Williams on Inside Out last Monday.
She thought that the use of Cornish language made the Cornish people look
ridiculous. She might have set a good example herself by
changing her name.</DIV>

<DIV>There is a very good "reason for it". The Cornish form (I
favour <STRONG>Eglosveryan</STRONG>) indicates the pronunciation, while
the Anglicized St Buryan is ambiguous in this respect.</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>How much support are people finding for Cornish
to be used in public signage? I recently mailed St Buryan Parish
council to ask why our very nice brand new village sign didn't include
somehwere the name in Cornish, as this wouldn't have added to the
cost. The answer was simply that "they saw no reason for it" and that
"of the eleven councillors, ten were St Buryan born and bred".<BR>Oll
