In stark contrast to Breton, Cornish was no longer used as a means of communication by 1800 (George 2015: 491), and though there were still a number of individuals who could speak the language, it is believed that the majority of these had died by 1900. Jenner (1904/2016: 12) suggests that the Reformation was particularly detrimental to the language, as the Book of Common Prayer, which was translated into all of the other Celtic languages of the British Isles, was never translated into Cornish.
