An pythow a yllowgh hwi gul rag gweres What you can do to help

• 1. Read the PSB Kernow research report –

understand what it is and why it would be good for Cornwall, not just Kernewek – no-one else is going to make it happen if we don’t

• 2. Sign the petition: https://www.bosena.co.uk/tk
• 3. Use Tyskennow Kernewek – if we show there is

demand, it will help our case

• 4. Letters of support from the language groups – or
• ther groups you are in – different reasons

specific to each group all help

• 5. Contribute good quality subtitled content to the

Dyski section
