Ag obair leis an Choirnis
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Luaitear a spéis is luaithe sa Choirnis in alt le Robert Morton Nance dar teideal "Cornish Beginnings", [2]
When Jenner was a small boy at St. Columb, his birthplace, he heard at the table some talk between his father and a guest that made him prick up his ears, and no doubt brought sparkles to his eyes which anyone who told him something will remember. They were speaking of a Cornish language. At the first pause in their talk he put his query... 'But is there really a Cornish Language?' and on being assured that at least there had been one, he said 'Then I'm Cornish—that's mine!'

Sa bhliain 1873, chuir Jenner páipéar dar teideal 'The Cornish Language' i láthair an Philological Society i Londain , ag rá:
This, then, is all that can be found at present on the subject of the Cornish language. I have done much more in the way of compiling than of originating anything, for the subject has been pretty well exhausted by other writers; and unless some new book should turn up, very little of any importance remains to be done.[3]
