They're called People of Cornwall (or PoC for short). Thanks.

PoC is the preferred term, because it denotes that they're people who happen to come from Cornwall. "Cornwelsh" implies that they're Cornish first, and people second. It's a world of difference.

Ask any Cornwelshman if he is human first, or Cornwelsh first, and he shall answer the latter. Thanks.
