  • The Cornish are the people of Cornwall, the most south-westerly part of England, and the United Kingdom. As an ethnic group, the Cornish are interpreted as modern Celts, the lineal descendants of the ancient Britons who inhabited southern and central Great Britain. It is asserted that Cornish people are culturally and ethnically distinct from the English, in the extent to which they share cultural and ancestral commonalities with the people of the Celtic nations—the Bretons, Irish, Manx, Scots and Welsh. Cornish identity has been adopted by migrants into Cornwall, as well as by emigrant and descendant communities from Cornwall—the Cornish diaspora. Throughout classical antiquity the ancient Britons formed a series of tribes, cultures and identities in Great Britain; the Dumnonii and Cornovii were the Celtic tribes who inhabited what was to become Cornwall during the Iron Age, Roman and post-Roman periods. The name Cornwall and its demonym Cornish are derived from the Celtic Cornovii tribe. A watershed in the early history of Cornwall was the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain in the 5th to 6th centuries, which pushed Celtic culture to the northern and western fringes of Great Britain. The Battle of Deorham between the Britons and Anglo-Saxons resulted in a loss of landlinks between the Brittonic peoples of Wales and Cornwall. In the Old English language the Cornish people, who shared the Brythonic language with the Welsh, were referred to as the Westwalas meaning West Welsh. The Cornish people and their Brythonic Cornish language experienced a process of anglicisation and attrition during the Middle Ages and early Modern Period, so much so that Cornwall and the Cornish were considered components of England and the English. By the 18th century, and following the creation of the Kingdom of Great Britain, the Cornish language and identity had faded, replaced by the English language and British identity. A Celtic revival during the early-20th century facilitated a cultural self-consciousness in Cornwall that revitalised the Cornish language and roused the Cornish to express a distinctly Celtic heritage. In 2007, the population of Cornwall, including the Isles of Scilly was estimated to be around 532,000. For effectively all governmental, cartographical and statistical purposes, Cornwall is a part of England, but the Cornish self-government movement has called for greater recognition of Cornish culture, politics and language, challenging the constitutional status of Cornwall and urging that Cornish people be accorded greater status, exemplified by their request they be constituted as ethnically distinct in the United Kingdom Census 2011. The Cornish language was granted official recognition under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages in 2002, but the Cornish people "struggle for recognition as a national group distinct from the English" outside of Cornwall, and are not afforded protection under the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities.
  • Kornit ovat Englannin Cornwallissa asuva kelttiläinen kansa. Korneina pitää kuitenkin itseään osa niistäkin cornwallilaisista, jotka eivät ole etnisesti kelttiläistä alkuperää. Suurin osa korneista puhuu englantia, mutta kornin kieltä elvytetään parhaillaan. Britanniassa oli vuoden 2001 väestönlaskennassa 37 500 kornia, mutta tulosta ei pidetä täysin luotettavana. Eräässä kyselyssä Cornwallin alueen 501 267 asukkaasta 35,1 prosenttia mielsi itsensä korneiksi.
  • Les Corniques sont un groupe ethnique originaire des Cornouailles, en Angleterre (à ne pas confondre avec les Cornouaillais qui sont les habitants de la Cornouaille — sans "s"—, région de Bretagne). C'est un peuple celtique qui parlait la langue cornique jusqu'au XVIIIe siècle et qui s'est mis à la cultiver de nouveau depuis le XXe siècle, bien que de manière minoritaire. Selon une enquête de 2004, 35% des habitants des Cornouailles se considèrent corniques (environ 181 000 personnes). L'ethnicité cornique est reconnue dans les recensements canadiens et, en 2006, 1550 canadiens ont déclaré que leur origine ethnique était cornique.

  • De Cornish zijn een etnische groep in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, afkomstig uit de provincie Cornwall. De keltische taal Cornisch werd ooit door hen gesproken, maar nu is het Engels de moedertaal. Tegenwoordig komt het Cornisch terug: de taal wordt door enkele honderden mensen vloeiend gesproken, en duizenden mensen hebben een kleine kennis van de taal. Door sommige mensen worden de Cornish als Engelsen gezien. Dit is echter onjuist, omdat de Cornish van de Kelten afstammen en de Engelsen van de Angelsaksen. De verwarring is begrijpelijk omdat de etnische groepen in het Verenigd Koningrijk moeilijk te onderscheiden zijn. Mensen kiezen tegenwoordig Cornisch als een culturele identiteit. Zoals veel emigranten uit het Verenigd Koninkrijk houden ook de Cornish vast aan hun tradities. Er zijn dan ook Cornische gemeenschappen in de Verenigde Staten, Australië en Canada, en ook daarbuiten. In Zuid-Australië is er bijvoorbeeld een Cornisch festival, de Kernewek Lowender.

Ich językiem ojczystym jest język kornijski, ale współcześnie posługują się zazwyczaj językiem angielskim. Dominującym wyznaniem wśród Kornwalijczyków jest protestantyzm.
  • Os córnicos são um grupo étnico do Reino Unido originário da Cornualha. É geralmente descrito como sendo um povo celta. O número de pessoas que vivem na Cornualha e se consideram mais córnicos do que britânicos ou ingleses é desconhecido. Uma pesquisa indica que 35,1% se identifica como córnico, com 48.4% a identificar-se como inglês e 11% como britânicos. Uma sondagem da consultora Morgan Stanley em 2004 indicou que 44% dos habitantes da Cornualha se identificam mais córnicos do que ingleses ou britânicos. Existem apelos a uma maior clarificação dos dados com os censos de 2011. Tal como com outros grupos étnicos das ilhas britânicas, a questão de identidade não é clara. A identidade étnica tem-se baseado principalmente na identidade cultural e não tanto a ascendência. Muitos descendetes de povos que chegaram e se fixaram na Cornualha adotaram esta identidade. O tema da identidde córnica tem sido estudado extensivamente nas coleções de livros de estudos córnicos publicadas pela Exeter University Press. A cornicidade é examinada com ferramentas metodológicas que variam entre a teoria femininista até ao desconstrucionismo. No censo britânico de 2001, a população da Cornualha e das ilhas de Scilly foi estimada em 501.267 habitantes. Pela primeira vez num censo britânico, aqueles que quisessem descrever a sua etnicidade como córnica tiveram direito ao seu próprio código numérico (06), ao lado dos números das étnias inglesa, galesa, irlandesa ou escocesa. Cerca de 34.000 pessoas na Cornualha e de 3.500 no resto do Reino Unido disseram considerar-se córnicas. Isto representava 7% da população da Cornualha e foi portanto um fenómeno significativo. Apesar de contentes com este desenvolvimento, os defensores da etnía mostraram reservas quanto à falta de publicidade respeitante ao tema, à falta de uma opção clara nos boletins para a etnía córnica no censo e para a necessidade de se negar o ser britânico para se poder afirmar córnico. O governo britânico concordou recentemente que os ingleses e os galeses serão opções separadas nos censos de 2011, mas que não haverá opção córnica. Várias organizações córnicas têm feito campanhas para a inclusão da opção córnica nestes censos.
