Cornish is used in many official
ways, but not to any great extent. The
first example people usually get is the
sign at many of the border crossings which
show 'Kernow' as well as
'Cornwall'. Then there are place signs
saying 'Truru a'gas' dynnargh' or 'Truro
welcomes you'. Then some shops have
some signs in Cornish. The most recent
example was ASDA, who in October 2002 very
publicly announced they were putting up
some customer service signs in Cornish.
