	Goidelic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Irish and Manx are often referred to as Irish Gaelic and Manx Gaelic — and it is correct to describe them as Goidelic or Gaelic languages — this is unnecessary because the words Irish and Manx only ever refer to these languages whereas Scots by itself refers to the Germanic language.
		Manx, the former common language of the Isle of Man, is descended from the Gaelic spoken in north east Ireland and the now extinct Gaelic of Galloway (in southwest Scotland), with heavy influence from Old Norse because of the Viking invasions.
		Manx is virtually extinct, although attempts to revive it continue and it is still used in ceremonies such as Tynwald Day.

	Manx language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		Manx began to emerge as a distinct language in the 13th-14th century after the collapse of the Norse kingdom of Mann and the Isles and prior to the long settled period of English control through the Stanleys.
		Manx was once spoken by almost the entire population of the Isle of Man until the 1765 Revestment Act by which the Duke of Atholl sold the island to the British Crown.
		The decline of Manx was further accelerated by immigration from North West England during the later 18th and early 19th centuries, and the large numbers of English-speaking tourists who start to visit the island from the 1830s onwards.

	Manx Gaelic (Part 5, The Celtic Languages)
		Manx is the historical language of the Isle of Man, the small, autonomous island in the center of the Irish Sea.
		Manx was still the dominant language until early in the 19th century, when English began to take precedence (1).
		Consequently, the effects of the decline of Manx during the 19th century was made even worse by significant immigration English-only speakers to the island during the middle of the 20th century, so that by 1981 just over 50% of the population was “native” Manx (3).

	Scottish Gaelic language, alphabet and pronunciation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Scottish Gaelic is closely related to Manx and Irish and was brought to Scotland around the 4th century AD by the Scots from Ireland.
		Scottish Gaelic was spoken throughout Scotland (apart from small areas in the extreme south-east and north-east) between the 9th and 11th centuries, but began to retreat north and westwards from the 11th century onwards.
		The earliest identifiably texts in Scottish Gaelic are notes in the Book of Deer written in north eastern Scotland in the 12th century, although the existence of a common written Classical Gaelic concealed the extent of the divergence between Scottish and Irish Gaelic.

		Manx is one of six Celtic languages, the others being Irish, Scots Gaelic, Welsh, Breton and Cornish.
		Up until the 1800s English, although it would be used for trade and administration purposes, was a foreign language to most Manx people. However, due to economic, social and political pressures, the language suffered an enormous decline, to such an extent that by 1961 only 165 people claimed to speak the language.

		The Gaelic unit in Sleat now has a higher intake than the English unit, and I am told that the children in the Gaelic unit are ahead even in their English reading.
		Manx Gaelic currently receives support from the Department of Education (DoE), MNH, MHF and the IOM Arts Council, however, the level of support remains modest when compared with support given to Scottish Gaelic, Welsh and Irish.
		Bearing in mind the high level of parental support for Manx in schools, it is essential that the IOM Government, through DoE, makes a commitment to ensuring that the teaching of Manx in Manx schools is given a higher priority.
