  • Kenneth J. George, writing as Ken George, is an oceanographer and linguist noted as being the originator of Kernewek Kemmyn, an orthography for the Cornish language supporters claimed to be more faithful to Middle Cornish phonology than its precursor. Kernewek Kemmyn was introduced in 1987. George has published over eighty items relating to Celtic linguistics, including several dictionaries of Cornish. His edition of the recently-discovered Middle Cornish play Bywnans Ke was published by the Cornish Language Board in May 2006. George received a Commendation for this work in the 2007 Holyer an Gof awards. He has translated numerous hymns and songs into Cornish, and also the lyrics of Die Zauberflöte. He has composed a substantial amount of poetry in Cornish, including the full-length play Flogholeth Krist, in the style of the Ordinalia. George lives in Cornwall, and speaks Breton and French as well as English and Cornish. George was formerly Principal Lecturer in Ocean Science in the Institute of Marine Studies at the University of Plymouth. George was made a Bard of Gorseth Kernow in 1979, taking the Bardic name Profus an Mortyd ('Tide Predictor'). This reflected one of his research interests in oceanography, the other being numerical modelling. He has over fifty publications in the oceanographic field, including the text-book Tides for Marine Studies, which has sold over 1000 copies. George is a Gorseth Kernow representative committee member of the Kesva an Taves Kernewek (Cornish Language Board) which is a body promoting the Cornish language.
  • Ken George és un oceanògraf que viu al sud-oest de Cornualla i parla còrnic, bretó, anglès i francès. És més conegut com a creador del Kernewek Kemmyn, un sistema de pronunciació revisada del còrnic que intenta ser més fidel al còrnic mitjà que el seu precursor, el còrnic unificat de Robert Morton Nance. El va crear finals dels 1980 i sembla que des dels 1990 s'ha anat imposant el seu ús, malgrat les crítiques de Nicholas Williams i altres acadèmics. Ha publicat alguns diccionaris, diverses obres de lingúística i oceanografia i una edició de la peça còrnica migeval recentment descoberta Bewnans Ke.
  • Ken George, considerado creador del Kernewek Kemmyn, revisión por una lado de la ortografía, que porcuró que estuviera más de acuerdo con la fonología del córnico medio y por otro de la gramática y el léxico, recomendando usos y vocabulario; aunque sus afirmaciones y consejos fueron harto criticados, entre muchos por Nicholas Williams y otros expertos en lenguas célticas. Ha publicado además vaios diccionarios de córnico y otros libros versados en lingüística y oceanografía. Vive en Caradon y habla bretón, inglés y francés además del córnico. Es además el principal lector en el Ocean Science in the Institute of Marine Studies de la University of Plymouth.
