That's pretty much what she said in the video. I have mixed feelings about reviving languages that had been dead more than a century, as I get strange nationalist tingles at the back of my neck.
But if they're doing it for fun, then that's fine
There's some debate on when Cornish actually died out quite a few accounts well into the 1800s of fishermen speaking it here and there. Half the problem with Kernewek is poor written records towards the end of its decline.
