Updating Cornish
I know we do not have any extra tags for a one-provance culture, however I feel that the Cornish culture of Cornwall should be represented by Breton rather then by Welsh.
Having studied the Cornish language, it is far closer in spelling to Breton then Welsh. I feel Cornish culture can be best represented using Breton culture and a targeted Cornish generic dynasty naming list.
Please, can we review this?
Generic Names for Cornwall (Provance 31)
Additionally, I would like to revisit the Cornish generic dynasty names for Cornwall. Currently, the generic names for Cornwall are all largely Norman-French and more generic for England proper. I would like to remove them from Cornwall, and replace the Cornish generic names with Cornish specific. Here is a list of some of the names that can be added. Origionating from Welsh evangelicals who moved to Cornwall, these generic names are more or less the modern versions of Cornish-Welsh with English influence. We would need to remove 31 from all of the generic dynasties naming list to prevent inappropriate Norman-French generic dynasties from appearing there.
These are place names for early Cornish churches.
