Abstract After over twenty years of debate over Cornish orthographies, recognition by the UK government according to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages in 2003 led to the creation of what was initially intended as a “single written form” for use in official contexts. However, the inevitable impossibility of finding a compromise that pleased opposing groups of speakers with differing ideologies meant that the eventual Standard Written Form (SWF) was pluricentric, comprising two “main forms”. While these were initially stated to be of equal status, this has been hard to maintain since the SWF’s implementation: with more speakers using Middle Cornish forms, the Late Cornish forms are less visible and commonly believed to be subsidiary. Drawing on such perceptions, along with learning materials and other resources, this paper examines the status of the SWF today and offers some reflections on this unsuccessful attempt at pluricentricity in a minoritised language.

复兴康沃尔语的正字法是对多中心性的尝试

摘要 经过二十多年关于康沃尔拼写法的辩论，英国政府根据 2003 年欧洲区域或少数民族语言宪章的承认导致了最初打算作为在官方环境中使用的“单一书面形式”的创建。然而，不可避免地无法找到一种让不同意识形态的演讲者群体满意的妥协方案，这意味着最终的标准书面形式 (SWF) 是多中心的，包括两种“主要形式”。虽然这些最初被声明为具有同等地位，但自从 SWF 实施以来，这一点一直难以维持：随着更多的人使用中康沃尔语形式，晚期康沃尔语形式不太明显，通常被认为是附属的。借鉴这种看法，以及学习材料和其他资源，
