Dia duit,Dane! This is one of the best videos I've ever watched ! I really appreciate the way you compared Irish and Manx, of course they resemble each other! I wish that Manx also becomes increasingly popular and "accepted" both by the native speakers and by non native ones! I hope to learn it one day,in fact I wanna learn all the five Celtic tongues! Of course I do realize that it's easier said than done! Good job! Maith thú! Go raibh míle maith agat agus slán go fóill !

I think you're right. Manx is very similar to Ulster Irish, but written with a rather anglicised orthography.

Thank you! Grew up Manx and learning some Irish at the moment. Growing up Manx you’re not expected to speak the languages but everyone learns a few basic words and sentences at school so I recognised many of the words in the video, not all though, some were new to me! I’ve just learned that written Manx was actually created in order for English priests to read it, which explains the more English orthography. Also appreciated your video on Irish and Portuguese (guessing maybe the comments got a bit heated as they’re turned off!).

Yes for some reason some of the comments got ridiculous from people who were just so ignorant on the Portuguese video so I just switched them off for my own sanity. I doubt I'll be returning to the Portuguese language ever again.

One of though most fascinating things about this group of languages is the amazing way they do negatives and questions.

Dear Dane, thank you for this video, (and for all your wonderful work!) I enjoyed it partly because one of my Irish ancestors had actually lived in the the Isle of Man before he journeyed to America and made his home here. Now nobody in my family is certain if he considered himself to be a Manx man or an Irishman, although we know his family originated in Ireland. For this reason I've always considered the Isle of Man to be a possible home place from which at least some of my ancestors came. It does my heart glad to know that Manx Gaelic is still a living language! Thanks to yourself, again, for helping the Irish language to spread and to grow, so that it will never die out either! When my own Irish is good enough, I want to help teach other descendants of Eire how to rediscover their ancestral language, as I am doing now. It is a wonderful journey, and it brings joy to my heart every day. Go raibh mile maith agat, aris. Beir bua agus beannacht. --N

Hello! I am subscribed to you and watch many of your videos, because im interested in Irish and at some point i wanna learn it. Unfortunately right now i dont have much time cause i go to uni and gotta learn two languages for it and in my free time im learning Russian right now. I definitely wanna learn a celtic language at some point tho, as i said, especially due to historical reasons, because Celts used to dominate much of Europe and are the "forgotten people" of Europe, so to say. That is why i find it particularly sad that Celtic languages have so few native speakers and show the tendency of "dying out" , at least that what it looks like from the outside. Could you do a video about the current linguistical Situation in Ireland. What policies do you find good and what would you wish, as an "Irish enthusiast", could be improved, in order to strengthen the Irish language? Also do you want Irish to be one day "replaced" by English as the colloquial language in Ireland. Since Ireland is a rather small country, there isnt much i can find out about that topic, thats why im asking you to shed some light on the current status of Irish. I thank you for teaching Irish and trying to preserve this beautiful language! Keep it up! Greetings from Germany!

Manx spelling was developed by English scholars with no Gaelic background which explains why it looks very Anglicised. T. F. O'Rahilly said that the result was an 'an inadequate spelling which is neither traditional nor phonetic'. I kinda like it, though. Where else can you see a word like 'dooinney'? It looks both silly and pretty at the same time.

You make some interesting observations. These mutations are also true of many other languages which have diverged from a common parent such as Norwegian and Swedish. When I taught English as a foreign language, I found Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish students found it easier to speak to each other in English! Of Scandinavian languages, Swedish is the best one to learn to stand the best chance of being understanding Norwegian and Danish. Italian and Spanish students also found it easier to communicate in English than if they spoke either Spanish or Italian to each other. Considering the so many Gaelic alternatives you have featured on your other uploads, you could propose Manx is used on the Internet as a written medium of communication since it does not require any accents which are not on the keyboard to be typed. Tip: you can type an accent on a keyboard that does not have a special key for it by holding down the 'alt gr' key and typing the letter, such as á, é. Thanks for uploading.

Easiest is not alway best, other Celtic languages are closer to their roots which is more authentic perhaps.

Excellent piece. Yes, apparently the spelling of Manx was devised for priests coming from the British mainland who needed to learn the language. It doesn't seem much better than modern Irish spelling but Manx, and indeed modern Irish, are certainly easier to spell than Scottish Gaelic which never had a spelling reform.
