a statement from the Kmtu committee on the Covid-19 virus June 2020
The Steering Group of Kernow Matters To Us wishes to thank all who rallied around to help others during this Pandemic so far.
Thousands of volunteers are helping those who need it. Local taxi firms are running free trips to chemists and supermarkets on behalf of those in isolation. Many shops and takeaways have adapted and continue to serve the public while adhering to Government Regulations.
Many seaside communities are rallying around and reporting visitors, who broke the rules. This helps to slow the spread of the virus. From Cape Cornwall to Bude, our little country shows what the Cornish can do.
Although we are not out of the woods yet, we thought we’d better let you all know how proud we are of you all. Stay safe, Follow Cornwall Council’s advice on Covid-19 , And yn gwyr, lets keep pushing on me 'ansums!
Tereba nessa, kemereugh wyth - Kernow bys vyken! John, Teresa, Craig, Tony, Matt, Mike, Clive, Ronan, Alex, Maria, Rob. Elected Members of the KMTU Steering Group

kernow matters to you
'Kernow Matters To Us' is a Cornish campaign group. Formed during 2015 to proclaim and celebrate Cornish culture, history, language and music whilst speaking out unashamedly for the Cornish, our members are proud to support the Cornish National Minority. Members of our group administer this and other social media sites.
Cornwall's name was first recorded in a place-name, Durocornouio, "fortress of the Cornish", c.400 AD, nearly 500 years before the name England was first recorded (as Englaland)
The Cornish were granted minority status within the UK and incorporated intoThe Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities - official Westminster Government Press Release

'Cornish' Defined!
A number of the more academic members of our group, 'Kernow Matters To You', have gathered and examined the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (FCPNM) as well as other documents and have agreed the following definition:
DEFINITION OF CORNISH (NATIONAL MINORITY)
CORNISH (NATIONAL MINORITY): One of the Celtic group of peoples, most closely related to the Welsh and Bretons; of predominantly post-Glacial and early prehistoric Atlantic European provenance (10,000 – 2,500 BCE), ancestrally, culturally and genetically distinct from other British communities, and historically occupants of that part of Britain’s southwestern peninsula known as Kernow, or Cornwall; who speak, or whose forebears spoke as their native community tongue, the branch of the Brythonic Celtic language group known as Kernowek (Kernewek), or Cornish.
