It is closely related to Breton (Brittany:Breizh) and Welsh (Wales:Cymru) and more distantly to the other surviving Celtic languages, Scots, Irish and Manx Gaelic (Scotland, Ireland, Isle of Man) (The Goidelic group). Cornish went out of use as a community language during the Eighteenth Century, but was revived in the Twentieth Century and is now know to some extent by perhaps 3,000 people, of whom perhaps 500 speak it fluently. Apart from Cornwall, Cornish speakers are found wherever Cornish people have settled abroad, especially in parts of Australia (e.g. Moonta) and North America (e.g. Michigan).
