Very inspiring video for small languages👍When you speak the language you get also the culture and mindset attached to it👍

these kids are so much more inspiring than the cynical adults who let their languages die out of shame

It's not one or the other! Back when islanders stopped speaking the language, it was out of need. These kids are very inspiring, but so are the parents supporting them!

These children did it because they could. People don't become cynical out of nowhere, in order to get a job you had to speak English, so if you speak Manx, you're poor. So shame about speaking the language spreads, and adults don't pass it on to their children. Language policy and people in power can do much more than we can imagine, and can do more than the speakers themselves, I believe. You have to put the speakers in a position where they can speak, and now's the time, thank god. In short, these children are doing it because they can. Every language that dies out is lost because of a lack of respect and of appropriate institutional support. People are not going to do what they fear hurts their possibilities or their children's. Certainly personal initiative helps, but it's a small part of a way bigger puzzle.

Languages die when parents stop using it to communicate with their children. School lessons cannot teach a language and won't keep it alive.

​@odas a professional linguist, I actually agree with you. I understand that people's linguistic decisions cannot be understood without understanding the context in which they are made. However, I also believe that political mobilisation plays a huge role in shaping language attitudes (this is actually the core idea behind my PhD). As someone who is aware of the political and social history of their community, if you choose to give up everything that makes you you, and pretend to be someone else (typically from a dominant culture), you are not only dooming yourself to feeling insecure and lost but also passing down a form of generational trauma to your descendants. The scars of the abuse that Irish Gaelic speakers faced in the early/mid 1900s, for instance, continue to affect their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. That's why it's important to resist and not be beaten down by the forces around you. You are absolutely right in saying that individual efforts cannot solve bigger problems. What we need is mobilisation on a societal scale. However, that mobilisation often begins with calling out individual defeatism and asking people to reflect more deeply about their shame and fear.

​@@enentrabsolutely! I really hope they succeed in bringing back their language - and this doesn't need to mean they give up English. It could just mean they become bilinguals!

I bow to the Manx Gaelic fighters. The real living beings.

Thanks for such a wonderful video, I was luckily to meet one of the islanders. I'm definitely so drawn to the Manx culture that I, as an islander as wll, feel so blessed to have the same beautiful places on earth. Taiwan is also facing the same thing which is the Formosan Languages ​​are no longer widely used, it has various difficulties in surviving, even though I was lucky enough to be educated in the era when our original language was revived by the government, however the result is still not obvious enough. In the past 5 years, under the trend of transformational justice, there have been many cultural revival activities so let these ancient languages ​​can be added to popular music, films or literature, which will further gain people's attention and attract more people to committed. Shout out to all those who have contributed to the languages and culture! They are truly the best!

Comhghairdeachas! Tá súil agam gigr féidir libh mé a thuiscint sa Ghaeilge! Congrats to you. I hope you can understand my Irish. Tá athbheochaint an Ghaelg an tabhachtach. Go n-éirií libh!

What an insightful video. Been to the IOM a number of times growing up. And as a child looked forward to my grandparents bringing home the kippers. Coming from Belfast, they spent every holiday they had in Douglas as they loved the way of life and the traditions. Both passed in the 1980s but I loved them telling me all about their time there, in fact I still have a t-shirt with the Manx cat & my name on it that they'd bought me. To think it's over 40 years old is like wow lol. To anyone who's never been, I suggest you give it a go. The island is beautiful as are the people. You don't know what you're missing x

This is great! Please cover Kernowek next (another revived Celtic language related to Breton)

Thank you for making this film.

Ma taves aral a veu dasserhys: Kernowek!

Fascinating!

I had no idea Manx went extinct in 2009! As a kid in school in the 80's, I was aware of the language - and the cat. It's like ive turned my back for 5 mins and the world has changed. Why on earth did they stop speaking it? What on earth were they speaking in their parliament all this time then?!

It was extinct long before that.

The other Celtic languages need to learn from this. If there's no passage of the language from adults to children, the language will not survive!

We in Wales know this too. In Great Britain we have the largest amount of Celtic language speakers. This is due to Welsh never getting to the extinction threat level, the government insisting that Welsh be recognised officially, that we have Welsh language media, that Welsh is taught in all schools until the age of 16 and that the rise in welsh medium education is going from strength to strength. May all the Celtic languages continue to exist and prosper!

I'm doing the same for Scouse!

as the Irish proverb or seanfhocail says "Beatha teanga í a labhairt' - the life of the language is in the speaking"

I love Celtic people, lovely persona and nations 🌻🌻🌻🌻😘. Its time to Man's Island, ireland , Scotland working together in restoration of cumbrian, pictish, protogoidelic and protoceltic, and convert theses last idioms in hodiern goidelic in hodiern panceltic. Don't stop continue the job of Celtic restoration ever til the end.❤❤❤❤🥂🥂🥂😍😍😍🎁🎇🎇🥂💋🌹🏠🏡🥇🥇🥇🤗🤗🤗

I wonder how they get learning materials for the Manx primary school. I know from experience that it's tough enough to get textbooks and other learning materials in Irish, and that's even with dozens of Irish-medium schools. It must be almost impossible when there's only one school

Excellent point. The teachers had to make most of the textbooks, some of it is still a work in progress!

Interesting. In east ulster dialect (unfortunately extinct) there is coinfheasgar which is similar to their word for afternoon. We also use cha instead of ní in certain places of ulster just as they use cha in both manx and scottish gaelic

I think if it's taught in school and has a Co official status, it will last for centuries to come

It will last if people use it to communicate rather than English. Parents will have to teach it to their children. Schools won't keep it alive.

The symbol in use today is in no way connected to you legitimately it is however still used today by other hate groups and obviously both you and them wouldn't have anything in common at all. I'm quite sure you're completely innocent and have been been historically oppressed by the British. People usurping your symbols is another example of this. Sad to say that good traditional people are getting maligned with bad. I'm aware of the issue that's why I mentioned it.
