Cornwall - Language.
The Cornish language is closely related to Welsh and Breton, and less so to Irish, Scots Gaelic and Manx.

| | | | county: Encyclopedia II - County Dublin - Currently At present, many organisations, state agencies and sporting teams continue to operate on a "County Dublin" basis. Subsequently, much confusion exists around the legitimacy of the new counties - though they do have administrative county status, the only protected recognition of a county within the Republic of Ireland.
