WI: Surviving Cornish Language and Devolution

How could Cornwall be a constituent country similar to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (although with maybe a lower level of power devolved compared to the main three.) And what PODs could be required for a surviving Cornish language with at least 35% speaking the language.
 
IIRC Cornish did not get a bible translated whereas Welsh did. Perhaps a translation into Cornish, combined with non-conformist churches that provide services in the Cornish language, will do more to keep the language alive?
 
Not necessarily, Cornwall is so small that maybe it being independent but not sovereign, could economically benefit both Cornwall and England.
Thinking out loud there : but what is the possibility for having both Cornwall as an actual palatine holding (independent from the throne)and for some reason, and having most or a large part of palatinate holdings keeping a distinct status and chanceries up to the XVIIth/XVIIIth if not XIXth/XXth? It would require a different England at this point, whith if not weaker royal power, at least having these entities being treated as Crown Dependencies rather than part of the kingdom.
This way, Cornish could be relatively similar with Bearnais up to this date, meaning a distinct chancery to establish a relative standardized form.
