An Outline of the Standard Written Form of Cornish Albert Bock Benjamin Bruch 3 Metheven 2008 First edition 2008 ©2008 Cornish Language Partnership ISBN 978-1-903798-56-0 Acknowledgements Although it bears the names of Albert Bock and Benjamin Bruch as editors and principal authors, this specification is actually the work of many hands. Credit for the development of the Standard Written Form lies with the members of the Ad Hoc Committee of the Cornish Language Partnership: Mr Jori Ansell, Mr Andrew Climo- Thompson, Dr Bernard Deacon, Mrs Mina Dresser, Mr Pol Hodge, Dr Loveday Jenkin, Mr Rod Lyon, and Ms Polin Pris, who met in November 2007, December 2007, and March 2008 to work out the details of the agreement described in this document. Thanks are also due to Dr Trond Trosterud, who in his role as Arbiter chaired the Ad Hoc Committee and guided its members in reaching final decisions, and to the panel of linguistic advisors who lent their considerable expertise to the deliberations: Mr Michael Everson, Dr Ken George, Mr Dan Ryan-Prohaska, Mr Keith Syed, and Prof. Nicholas Williams. Two other groups also made substantial contributions to the process of establishing the Standard Written Form. Prof. Joshua Fishman, Mr Dónall Ó Riagáin, Mr Chaspar Pult, Prof. Miquel Strubell, Dr Trond Trosterud, and Prof. Colin Williams comprised the Cornish Language Commission, who, drawing upon their considerable expertise in minority language revitalisation and orthographic design, evaluated the various proposals made by language groups and members of the Cornish community, and made the recommendations which led to the formation of the Ad Hoc Committee and guided its deliberations.
