i like that the word for the cornish language in breton is essentially "big cornish"¹ because "cornish"² on its own would mean the dialect of breton.

1. kerneveureg. kernev is cognate with the welsh "cernyw" and english "cornwall", but refers to a region in brittany. and kernev-veur is used to mean cornwall, and means "big cornwall" essentially.

2. kerneveg is a dialect of breton, and the word cognate with the welsh "cernyweg" and english "cornish".

interesting also how wales in irish is "an bhreatain bheag", i.e. "the small britain". which is also essentially what the word brittany means in english. brittany is also called "small britain" in scottish gaelic - "a' bhreatann bheag".

and the irish "an bhreatain mhór" is "the big britain", which is again what it's basically called in english too - great britain.

would any celtic languages speakers/learners with websites like to be part of a celtic languages webring?? i haven't made anything yet, but i'm just gauging interest. all the celtic-related webrings i've found online are a decade or two old and don't seem to be being maintained anymore so there's no way to join.

you wouldn't have to be a fluent speaker or have a site dedicated to just celtic languages, you just need to be using a celtic language at least a bit on your site. i'd like to promote the active use of celtic languages online, so it would probably only be modern celtic languages (sorry medievalists).

society if cumbric still existed. or if we at least had extant texts of it enough to learn it.

lots of the celtic-related webrings i've seen seem to be from the 90s/00s and very inactive with no way to join. i wonder if it would be worth me making one?? just like a webring for anything generally celtic-language-related or in the celtic languages.
