For the first time ever, Census 2001 gave the chance for people to identify themselves as Cornish - approx. 37,000 people recorded their ethnicity as Cornish. Census 2011 continues with this but will also allow Cornish people to record their language for the first time in order to allow important statistics to be gathered on the prevalence of the Cornish language.
The 3 questions that apply to being Cornish are:
15. What is your national identity?
16. What is your ethnic group?
18. What is your main language?
