WHAT DOES CORNISHMAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cornish people

The Cornish are a people associated with Cornwall, in the southwest of England, in the United Kingdom. The Cornish language was granted official recognition under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages in 2002, and it was announced in April 2014 that the Cornish would be recognised and afforded protection by the UK Government under the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. Some have argued that the Cornish represent a distinct ethnic group within the UK, which can trace its roots to the ancient Britons who inhabited southern and central Great Britain prior to the Roman conquest, and some in the county today continue to assert a distinct identity, separately or in addition to English or British identities. Cornish identity has been adopted by migrants into Cornwall, as well as by emigrant and descendant communities from Cornwall, the latter sometimes referred to as the Cornish diaspora. Although not included as an explicit option in the UK census, the numbers of those claiming Cornish ethnic and national identity are officially recognised and recorded.
