	Manx language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Manx (Gaelg or Gailck), also known as Manx Gaelic, is a Goidelic language spoken on the Isle of Man.
		The spelling of Manx, unlike that of Irish and Scottish Gaelic, does not represent the Goidelic etymology, and more closely resembles an English speaker's attempt to write Gaelic, with a degree of Welsh influence evident from the use of 'y' and 'w'.
		This is because Manx developed without a written literature, and when attempts were made to introduce a standardised orthography for the language, the choice was made to spell the words in an English manner.

		With the discovery of the Botorrita tablets in the 1970s, it became clear that the Celtiberian language, about which virtually nothing was known previously, is also Q-Celtic.
		It should, however, be remembered that this dispute is purely academic in that they concern the relationship between modern-day groups of languages and groups that are now extinct.
		Within the Indo-European family, the Celtic languages have sometimes been placed with the Italic languages in a common "Italo-Celtic" subfamily, a hypothesis that is now largely obsolete.

	The Celtic Britons
		Two main groups of languages developed in the British Isles: Goidelic in Ireland, and Brittonic in present-day Wales, England and Southern Scotland.
		In Ireland, Goidelic - or Q-Celtic, thanks to its characteristic kw sound - became the dominant language and gave rise to Irish, Scots Gaelic and Manx.
		As the kw sound of Goidelic appears as a p in Brittonic, it is also known as P-Celtic, and traces of the relation between the two languages still survive: for instance, the Irish word for head is ceann (pronounced cen), where as in Welsh it is pen.

		A similar classification to describe this split in the Celtic family of languages into two branches denotes the Goidelic branch as "q-Celtic" and the Brythonic branch as "p-Celtic".
		Basically, this refers to the way in which the hard "k" sounds in Goidelic languages seem to have transformed in time into the soft "p" sounds of the Brythonic languages (it is generally assumed that the q-Celtic branch is older than the p-Celtic branch).
		These placename elements are rare in Ireland, the historical heartland of the modern Goidelic languages.

		This dissertation is an examination of the prosodic structure of the closely related Goidelic languages: Irish, Scots Gaelic, and Manx.
		The continuing role of the Weight-to-Stress Principle (WSP) in the history of the Goidelic languages is examined.
		It is further argued that a prosodic constituent called the colon must be included in the prosodic hierarchy between the prosodic word and the foot, with evidence from both Goidelic and non-Goidelic languages that certain facts of stress and prosodic size cannot be explained adequately without reference to the colon.

	Manx language
		Manx (Gaelg), also known as Manx Gaelic, is the Goidelic language spoken on the Isle of Man.
		The spelling of Manx, unlike those of Irish and Scots Gaelic, doesn't represent the Goidelic phonology, and more closely resembles an English-speaker's attempt to write Gaelic.
		Both of the other Gaelics, for instance, would write Mhainnineagh (sp?) indicating that the initial 'v' sound is a lenited 'm', to distinguish it from a 'v' sound that is a lenited 'b' and is written bh in the other Gaelics, but also v in Manx.
