Padraic,
Thanks for all that information on literary vs. spoken Kerno. I'd no idea
the situation was that complex and volatile! I'm curious to know, how much
(if any) writing, publishing, journalism, etc. is done in Kerno these days,
and if so, in what variety? The literary register, despite all the
differences and complexities? One or more of the dialects and/or
orthographies that various factions fight over? Is it sort of like the
situation with Breton *here*, where there are several competing
orthographies, and whichever one a person chooses immediately gives away his
political sympathies, etc.? Or do they all just speak Kerno and write in
Brithenig?
Regards,
Thomas
