Hello in Cornish

Kernewek dha! (Hello in Cornish)
In English: Hello!
The modern Cornish language is an example of a revitalized language that has seen an increase in the number of speakers since the 1970s. Despite its small number of speakers, it has been recognized as an official minority language by the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.
Cornish language speakers are known as "Kernowek" in their own language, and are spread throughout the United Kingdom and other parts of the world. Some famous Kernowek speakers include actor Dominic West and comedian Tim Vine.
Fun fact: The Cornish word for "hello" is a combination of the Old Cornish word "ker" meaning "people" and "nowek" meaning "a new one". This reflects the idea that "hello" is a new greeting for new people.
