Not entirely. It was still spoken by one old man earlier this century,
and although the spoken word is more or less lost, there are those with
some idea of it, and the language survives in written form. A modern
Cornish pronunciation is being devloped, and a movie has been made in
Cornish with English sub-titles!
Cornwall has it's own flag - a vertical white cross on a black ground.
Wonderful what one can learn just by moving!
