Where the Cornish comes from: every Cornish word and phrase was copied from Cornwall Council’s list of 20 Cornish words and phrases, the Akademi Kernewek dictionary (Gerlyver Kernewek) or, for place names, the Akademi Kernewek place-name list, checked on 31 October 2026. The sources are listed on each pack’s credits page, and words we could not find in them were left out. Spellings are in the Standard Written Form; where the dictionary gives two forms, marked M and L, we use the M form. We don’t invent English-letter sound guides: we point you to the Go Cornish phrase books, which have audio. Drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. cornish.languages.im and REALLYBYTE are independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by Akademi Kernewek, Kesva an Taves Kernewek, Cornwall Council or any government body.

Licence: personal and single-classroom use. You may print as many copies as you need for your own family or your own class, and share it with your class through a password-protected platform. Please don’t resell, re-upload or share it publicly. For school-wide use, please email info@reallybyte.com.
