As Britain redefines its modern identity, the Cornish are re-finding their place in the nation through their ancient language, Kernewek. "Here lived Dolly Pentreath, one of the last speakers of the Cornish language, as her native tongue died December 1777." So says a faded granite plaque on an old stone wall in Mousehole, a fishing village in south-western Cornwall that heaved with holidaymakers on a hot summer's afternoon. I stopped to take in this momentous linguistic monument, then turned against the crowd and walked uphill along a sunken lane until a half mile later I stumbled into a graveyard.
