As well as a Cornish-English / English-Cornish dictionary, this volume includes the pronominal prepositions required for first and second grade study, a selection of useful verbs, numbers and idioms in Cornish, and examples of good sentence structure in a variety of tenses.All new terms are reviewed by the Akademi Board and then added to the online Cornish language dictionary, clearly tagged as a 'proposed term' for at least one year. This dictionary is in the Standard Written Form (SWF) of the Cornish Language, as agreed in 2008 and reviewed in 2014. Tagging provides additional information and makes forms that have hitherto been used by only one group available to everybody. Developed in 2008 and revised in 2014, the Standard Written Form of Cornish is the agreed orthography for use in public life, by Cornwall Council, and within education.

The Standard Written Form also makes provision for the use of 'traditional graphs' such as word-final , which are held to be equally correct, for personal use. The translated sentences you will find in Glosbe come from parallel corpora (large databases with translated texts). The Akademi comprises Cornish language experts and provides advice on standards for Cornish language in the Standard Written Form (SWF). This is indicative of the improving status of the language and is a credit to the hard work of the Cornish Language Board and the wider Cornish Language community.For example some users of Middle Cornish-based orthographies will pronounce Middle Cornish long nn in words like penn ‘ head ’ as dn and say pedn , which is normally considered a feature of RLC.

The SWF does not have a bias towards any end of the continuum and tagging is simply meant to help people choose forms that suit their style of Cornish. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins.As well as adding new terminology and extending the range of the dictionary, over time information about each word and usage will also be made available as will audio files to allow the pronunciations to be heard.
