About the language
Around 2,200 speakers and growing, on the Isle of Man, including children in Manx-medium education.
Manx (Gaelg) is a Goidelic Celtic language, the third alongside Irish and Scottish Gaelic. Its last first-language speaker died in 1974, but a sustained revival, including the Manx-medium school Bunscoill Ghaelgagh, has brought it back into daily use.
Manx shares the Goidelic grammar of Irish and Scottish Gaelic, including initial mutation, verb-first order, and the copula. Its orthography is unusual among Celtic languages in being based on English spelling conventions rather than a Gaelic system.
