"Richard Gendall is a British expert on the Cornish language, born in 1924. He is the founder of \"Modern Cornish\"/Curnoack Nowedga, which split off during the 1980s. Whereas Ken George mainly went to Medieval Cornish as the inspiration for his revival, Gendall went to the last surviving records of Cornish, such as John and Nicholas Boson, in the eighteenth-century."@en .
