Q. When will the Unified Cornish version of the New Testament be
ready?
A. A machine-generated transliterated version, some 95% correct, has
been sent to Unys checkers. It can be seen on this website.When it is received back it will need further
manual work done on it. Meanwhile, the Project will gladly provide versions of individual readings
in Unified or Common spelling, from OT or NT books, to clergy or others arranging
services.
Q. When will the Old Testament be available?
A. We have no target date for completion of the Old Testament. Work
proceeds however, and twelve OT books have already been published as booklets (see
the Gwerthow/Sales page), and a further thirteen are in various stages of
preparation.
Q. Could the Cornish Bible Project please help with translating
short liturgical texts, e.g. prayers?
A. Yes. Please send the text to us by e-mail.
Q. I am interested in learning Cornish. Can you suggest how to set
about it?
A. There is an excellent correspondence course - see http://www.kdlcornish.freeserve.co.uk
