Possibly if you trace back enough through the family tree

Is this some kind of recognition that will go or be severely weakened if we lose EU membership? Just being a cynic.

Cornish people will be granted minority status under European rules for the protection of national minorities.

We’ll need another colour to slap on the flag when Scotland jumps ship anyway, so why not black?

Interestingly, it talks about the word “kief” - which is where we get the word “chief” from, as well as “chef”. I was taught a long while back that the variations in French meant that as the words filtered across to this country, they cam with different meanings depending on the pronunciation. I wasn’t aware that it was likely to be a separate French-related language, but just an evolutionary process. So, interesting.

No where in the vocabulary table is there a translation for “Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.” though. :lol:

Picard is also strongly influenced by English from the soldiers fighting in the Somme. We have words like washingue (mop) and podingue (cake)
