Abstract
Presupposing invariability of hitherto centrifugal tendencies in frames of devolution reform and predevolution processes in Wales and Cornwall, it is believed that questionsof protection and development of national language are expected to remain in the Welsh/Cornish authorities centre of interests. Published by the Welsh Government andthe Cornish Council schemes of national languages contains postulates of widening range of cymraeg or kernewek teaching, strengthening of bilingualism in public sphereand subsidizing of Welsh/Cornish media. However top-down stimulation of bilingualism will not succeed if the majority of people in Wales and Cornwall communicates inEnglish. Furthemore reduced number of Welsh speakers and slow growing number of Cornish speakers shows that both these languages have no practical sense and are notable to compete with English. There is no reason to overestimate meaning of Welsh and Cornish in political mobilization processes because their role was only to confront Welsh and Cornish cultural diversity. Literally interpreted and appeased by the UK Government demands of legal and institutional guarantees of both languages protection and development caused finally displacement of public interests to other measures for realizing main aim, which is widening or implementing devolution processes.
