A note on pronounciation of the Cornish: although most letters are pronounced vaguely similarly in Cornish than English, important differences are

• 'dh' in Cornish: this is similar to the Welsh 'dd', or the 'th' in English 'leaTHer'.
• Any double letter tends to be repeated or pronounced for slightly longer than it would be in English: eg 'Lysker'rys'.
• The stressed syllable in Cornish is usually on the penultimate syllable: eg LysKERrys, DinTAgel. This has often carried through into the Anglicised name of the place as well - TinTAgel, BosTALlack.
