Talk:List of foreign-language names for Cornwall

Cornish a foreign language to who ?
How can "Cornish" being listed as a foreign language that has a word for "Cornwall". Foreign to who, perhaps ? Maybe this piece should being renamed "List of names for Cornwall in languages other than English" or "List of foreign language names for Kernow". I am thinking that "English / Cornwall" may be included as this words are not Cornish from Kernow - they are foreign ! Корнуол (talk) 19:04, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right, it does make one pause at first glance. But since this is the English language Wikipedia, "foreign-language" doesn't mean "languages foreign to Cornwall," it means "languages foreign to this Wikipedia." On the Cornish-language Wikipedia (if it existed), English would of course qualify as a foreign language. Writing articles from an exclusively English speaker's perspective is, perhaps, not the most culturally sensitive approach, but it is an accepted Wikipedia policy which generally keeps things neat, consistent, and readable throughout the encyclopedia. --Fullobeans (talk) 19:34, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It does indeed exist, although is kind of pointless, see kw.wikipedia.org. I don't think this article is asserting what constitutes a foreign language, it just leaves out English because the article title is in English, the same as this website is. --Joowwww (talk) 20:15, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I had no idea there was a kw.wikipedia! I wouldn't say it was "pointless"; I now have a much clearer concept of the Cornish language, and would recommend the site to any fans of the letter "Y". --Fullobeans (talk) 20:31, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
