Are Passhyon agan Arloedh and Pascon agan Arluth the same texts in different spellings? The Cornish language article mentions several variant spelling standards. Smerdis of Tlön 20:55, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Exactly. At the minute, we're working with four different spelling systems (three are similar to each other, one very different). Pascon agan Arluth is the original MS spelling; Passhyon agan Arloedh is Kernewek Kemmyn, the most widely used modern spelling system. In Unified and Unified Revised spelling, I think it would be Passyon agan Arleth. In Late spelling, probably something like Passion gon Arluth. PS: Somebody found my picutre! I scanned that for use on kw, but I'm glad to see someone's found it appealing enough for en. QuartierLatin1968 El bien mas preciado es la libertad 02:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Kernowek Kemyn is "the most widely-used modern spelling system" only according to users of Kernowek Kemyn. QuartierLatin is incorrect in suggesting that UC and UCR spelling would be Arleth. It is of course Arluth, just as found in the actual manuscript. Kernowek Kemyn's arloedh doubtless led to this error. He is right, however, in describing the four orthographies in the way that he has. Three of them are based on traditional Cornish, and one is a construct devised on the basis of theories that Cornish was less like Cornish and more like Welsh and Breton than it is. -- Evertype·✆ 20:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Kernewek Kemmyn is not "the most widely-used modern spelling system" only according to the few people that do not use it, of which Evertype is one. However, the evidence that it IS the most widely-used spelling system is here [1] where it is easily seen that the number of publications written in Kernewek Kemmyn far outweighs the number in any other system (the list is not controversial and users of all systems have been asked to update it). All of the traditional texts are available in Kernewek Kemmyn (this is certainly not the case with the other systems) alongside modern stories, poetry and non-fiction. Besides this, a monthly magazine, An Gannas, has appeared in Kernewek Kemmyn without a break for the past fifteen years. There is absolutely nothing comparable in any of the other spelling systems.
