Cornish revival → Cornish language revival – Per WP:PRECISE. "Cornish revival" is ambiguous, and more broadly refers to the Cornish segment of the Celtic revival, which is not intrinsically linguistic. The topic of this article is the revival of the Cornish language in particular (and it's entirely feasible to write an article on the Cornish revival in the broader sense, as a subtopical split from Celtic revival under WP:SUMMARYSTYLE). This rationale does not affect Gaelic revival, which was a historical movement of the Victorian era, that explicitly carried that name and is not generally known by any other names in the sources (in English). By contrast, the topic of the article presently at Cornish revival is referred to by widely divergent phrasing, e.g. "efforts to revive the Cornish language", "Cornish language restoration movement", etc.; "Cornish revival" is not a proper name. The title Cornish language revival is a descriptive disamiguation, and is preferable to a parenthetical one like "Cornish revival (linguistic)" per both WP:NATURALDAB and WP:CONCISE. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  05:12, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Recent
This is a fascinating subject, with new developments all the time. There should be info on recent developments, in 2015 or later. Possible sources:

 * “Keslowena dhywgh hwi oll! Another rise in Cornish Language Speakers”
 * “Signs in Cornish language to be put up at every police station in the county” 2015.7.29.
 * “Council splashes out £180,000 to try to stop the Cornish language dying out: Six-figure sum despite there being only 400 fluent Cornish speakers” 2015.11.5. (I suspect there were more than 400 fluent Cornish speakers at the time of this story; there were reportedly ~550 native speakers in the UK 2011 census.)

IETF variants
There are several IETF language tag variants for the orthographies of Cornish. They should be mentioned in their respective articles and used to tag text. --Error (talk) 17:15, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
