Interestingly the union flag (aka union jack) is a combination of the
flags of St George (representing England), St Andrew (for Scotland) and
St. Patrick (for Ireland).  Wales isn't represented in the flag as it
was already a principality of England at the time of the union between
England and Scotland (James II If I remember correctly)

I remember reading a while ago that Cornish has been undergoing
something of a revival of late.
