The constitutional status of Cornwall has been a matter of debate and dispute. Cornwall is an administrative county of England.^[1]

In ethnic and cultural terms, until around 1700, Cornwall and its inhabitants were regarded as a separate people by their English neighbours.^[2] One aspect of the distinct identity of Cornwall is the Cornish language, which survived into the early modern period and has been revived in the modern era.^[2]
