@Girrovv The number of people speaking Manx Gaelic is increasing steadily. We have an all-Manx school that teaches all subjects in Manx. No English is spoken at all during school hours.
There are also many free courses available for people who wish to learn the language. There are, however, more people singing in Manx than are speaking in. (I'm a singer, but not a speaker). Hopefully, in time, Manx will become widespread again :)
@Snitfit no they didn't. They occupied the channel islands in Normandy, which like the isle of man are separate nations owned by the british crown not part of the UK......
@JesusFish91 'WHO WOULD SERIOUSLY NAME THEIR ISLAND AFTER MAN!?!' - who would seriously name their YT account after JESUS?
The country is named after a GOD. Mannanan, God of magic and the sea. One of the greatest of all gods, and much more powerful than Jesus mofo Christ. Mannanan would have raped those roman fucks! FACT.
@mrmagicroundcircle o no, suggests power, the real kind, not the christain nastiness of controll and no honour of sexor loving that makes such angry people as yourself..
@mrmagicroundcircle what an unroyal idiot you are, mean and stupid, all together. NO, it IS my business, both as a woman and as your celtic cousin. Go learn your correct business you poor unhappy and stupid person, and leave other people alone with your verbal little stinkbombs that only point a finger of ugliness at yourself.
And grow up, the world and our celtic world needs people who care for it, not people who vomit their own undone business on others.
@gwirgalon sound like a typical plastic celt to me .spewing out idiotic diatribe .would appreciate if you wouldnt respond to this post go and hump some elses leg .goodday.
to everyone talking about the swastika, its an ANCIENT jewish symbol that means peace or something like that. it somehow got to europe and at least THERE it means peace. it also somehow got to the navajos, maybe developed it on their own and they used it to symbolize themselves. at some point in time microsoft had something on the computers with all the symbols for all the cultures, and they got in trouble for putting the navajo "swastika" on there lol. swastika certainly isnt its real name tho!
@GDarkGoombaG Swastika is not an ancient Jeiwsh symbol. If there is an ancient Jewish symbol that everyone knows about, it is the Star of David, not the swastika. It originated in India as a syombolization of peace and the Germans adopted it as the symbol of the Nazi Party, just like the republican and democratic parties have in America. Why would the Germans (in the 1939-1945 Nazi regime) adopt a symbol created by the Jewish people. It's common sense..
@KuwaitF22 well, israelite or whatever they were called bakc then. judeaen? either way the symbol was found in five thousand year old "jewish" ruins, and it either spread around or other cultures invented it by themselves. i know the navajos used it but i doubt it spread to them so they probably made it themselves separately. either way its a five thousand year old symbol of peace that, in john daley's words, the nazis ruined for everyone. lol. they adopted it cuz of its meaning
What a short anthem... Obviously, because it was created by people who live in a very small island. I feel sorry for the flag too, because it reminds me the Nazi Germany, but in this case, are 3 instead of 4 legs. Too bad, my dear Manx inhabitants...
I am very proud of my Manx heritiage. My great great grandparents were born there in the 1830's and I remain a manxman at heart. Visited the IOM 10 years ago and hope to get back soon. Many people ask me about the flags I have in my home and the triskelion. I tell them it's the Manx flag of course.
i love the iom ive lived there my hole life and all ways will nise to no people no about us on the little rock lol it is a good place nise people but to many people come ova frm tailand and a manx man can not get work for fuck... but anyway its a good place to live. im manx and proud all the way
FOR YOU INFORMATION the Manx flag does not look anything like a swastika, and the swastika was originally white on black,and a symbol for peace, so i suggest you get you facts right.It was the official manx flag before ww2
@Koloszrodosthe I think you'll find that the IOM is NOT part of the UK, nor is it part of the EU. It is, however, self-governing, crown dependency and a tax-free haven.
@TheTwollocks I'm sure the people who actually live there care. After all, if it's their island and home, I'm sure most of them are proud of it and have an attachment to it. Beyone that, it doesn't really matter what people outside of the IOM think. It's immaterial.
@TheTwollocks Support for what exactly? What are you even on about? I have absolutely no idea. And I'm neither Catholic nor an IRA supporter, you foolish fantasist.
@bacabu30 ... no you ira supporters always support the argies and spannish when it comes to who owns the falklands and gibralter .... ive never once heard an ira supporter say oh its up to the people of the falklands to decide what happens to thier islands..... you are so two fucking faced
@TheTwollocks You're a complete and utter moron and don't actually even deserve a response, even a dumb one. Who ever said I was an IRA supporter?? Where did that come out of? I certainly am not, you nutjob. And since when was anyone talking about people deciding what happens to their islands? When did this conversation even happen? I think you must be a schizo and having conversations with yourself in your own head. And learn how to spell 'Spanish'.
@TheTwollocks As I said, I've no idea what you're ranting on about. Who mentioned about self-determination (I think that's the word you're looking for)? I think you've been having a conversation with yourself, mate. I only stated the FACT initially that the IOM is NOT part of the UK and never has been. If that FACT somehow upsets you, that's your own business, but don't take it out on others! Maybe go see a therapist for your anger issues. You're the one who has disrespected the Isle of Man.
The Isle of Man is not part of the United Kin gdom, and is not part of the European Union. The United Kingdom consistes of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. The Isle of Man is a British Crown Colony. There is only one British colony that is part of the European Union and that is Gibraltar.
@MightySerbianFighter Why so? It merely depicts a Triskelion : an ancient symbol which goes back to the Neolithic period. The Sicilian flag also features the same symbol. Nothing to do with Nazism, if that's what you were thinking.
At least it doesn't feature a monarchist symbol (crown) on it, like your's does;-)
I preferred your old flag , the Partisan one with the Red Star on it.....Tito was a very great man, unlike any monarchs I can mention!
I'm french and i live in isle of man for two years and half now..and i love this flag,i respect this flag..douglas is so boring village so with sun is lovely island.cheers,bye
People have to lay of with the whole Nazi symbol bullshit.
And yes it is a British Crown dependency, one of those political oddballs which are made to be tax havens. Though its easy to see why many think its apart of the U.K many Brits move there. I wouldn't be surprised if it, and many crown dependencies are brought into the U.K given the economic crisis at some point in the future.
By the way, that's not swastika, that's a triskelion.
Triskelions are very common in traditional Celtic art (including on jewelry and weapons), and a large part of the population there, is of Celtic descent.
Although triskelions traditionally weren't in the shape of human legs.

Because of personal circumstances i lived on the isle of man. I've lived in many parts of Britain and other islands, but none of them are as bad as the island. People hide behind their flag and faux-patriotism instead of making any changes. The night life is awful (locals will tell you that), its safer than a city centre but barely different to similar sized uk towns (there's no CCTV on the IoM so less statistics) and the countryside is nice but so are many parts of scotland, wales and england
i am manx born and the the three legs of mann mean 'which ever way you throw me, i will aways stand'. i am proud to be born manx and shame on some people who disrespect my home by calling it a shit hole.
But it is a shit hole. If more people here recognised that rather than hiding behind pretend patriotism and suggesting everything is ok because "xxxxx is better than accross", then maybe the island might improve. Apathy. Compared to similar sized towns and villages accross and the general countryside, the IoM is pretty shit and the people are stuck up their own arses patting each other on back about how good the island supposedly is. My mum used to tell me i was the best, didn't mean it was true
The three legs just mean the Isle of Man government can run away faster to avoid facing uo to its responsibilities. Just check the "Don't Bank on the Isle of Man" videos.
i'll also come in and say that he is not a valid voice of the scots!
i know a few folk tat have gone over to the isle of man and said that the locals have good chat and enjoyed their time there (tho i think they went for the tt so they were bound to)
yes it does , but as taloncompany mark says , it was a symbol of the indo-european peoples , concretly that symbol of the flag is not indo-european , it comes from celtic people and its called triskelion
It also relates to the Manx sea god Mannanin who tried to defeat St Patrick by transforming into three legs and attempting to run him down. But Patrick survived. The Manx "sloagan" also links with the flag - "Which ever way you throw me, I will stand."
Pardon? My country doesn't own KFC McDonalds or Burger King.
Or are you trying to equate intelligent animals slowly drowning in their own blood as they are butchered alive with the five seconds or so it takes to kill a cow?
The whales die instantly. And since when is a whale more worthy than any other animal ? That sir, is discrimination. Secondly, they don't drown in they're own blood.
'The whales die instantly' - oh, so the half-hour film of them struggling to breathe as they flop about in their own blood after having their fins chopped off, that's just special effects is it? The blood spurting out of their blowholes, they're just doing that for the fun of it?
Because they have a bigger brain you diseased fuckstick. Body mass to brain mass ratio is how you determine intelligence, and whales are near the top of the list. Just how ignorant ARE you, hmm?
Dude, you are the one to call me ignorant ? So basically, killing stupid people is okay then ? The intellectual should survive and breed one superior race and fuckin' harvest the unintelligent ? The animals didn't do this to themselves, they were born like that, some smart, others not so smart, so they coulden't do anything about it. But killing the stupid is ok ?
'But killing the stupid is ok ?' - in your case, yes.
I'm talking about ability to feel stress by the animal, and intellect plays a huge part in that. An animal that knows it is going to be killed will suffer more than one who can't comprehend the concept. Whales communicate and have close family ties, second only to primates, when one is being cut to pieces the others are completely aware and hear their screams of pain, which stresses them and makes them panic as can be seen in the videos.
Look on youtube for: Danmark Massacre - Whaling in the Faroe Islands
Tell me if you think these animals are dying 'instantly', which is what you said earlier.
They APPEAR to be struggling to breath while bleeding to death and flopping about in their own blood and guts, as their family members (i.e. the other whales) die around them. The whole thing, as you well know, takes several minutes, Now, would YOU like to be murdered with the rest of your family while being drowned in this way?
Oh noes, someone on the internet hates me, my life is incomplete. Get a life, bum. We are killing Pilot Whales, not any other species, retard. Not some Basking Shark.
Hi greetings from the Isle of Man from one who has relatives in the Netherlands it is a great place to live and easy to get to 1 hour flight Amsterdam to Liverpool then 25 min flight Liverpool to Isle of Man come over some time
Hey, tnx bikermanx1! You are an islander just like me, as I live on one of the islands in the southwest of NL. The Isle of Man fascinates me and I hope to visit it soon!
Greetings and all the best to you and your relatives in NL. J.D. from Zeeland.
hi theriddler55 you will always be welocme over here on the wonderful Isle of Man if somehow you can make contact without disclosing your email address to the world would be happy to give you my details and if possible show you around no catch
Mark Cavendish is from the Isle of Man though he's not very popular because he's a bit of a knob. He also said in a cycling magazine that he said he felt he was English but from the Isle of Man which i don't think would have gone down well with the over-patriotic pricks that are the Manx people.
Who cares what Cavendish thinks (great Manx name, btw - not). The IOM has been part of Norway, it's been part of Scotland, but NEVER part of England so Cavendish is just being ignorant and provocative - which he is in general, from what I understand.
I went to a show at the Gaiety Theatre and the audience had to stand up and sing this before it started. I felt awkward as I'm from Hertfordshire and didn't know the words!
The Island of Man is where Lord Robin was born, in Douglas and it is so special to be able to hear the National Anthem of this beautiful Island where two beautiful babies were born on 22/12/1949 to Hugh and Barbara Gibb's . Robin and Maurice!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks!

If more people here recognised that rather than hiding behind pretend patriotism and suggesting everything is ok because "xxxxx is better than accross", then maybe the island might improve. Apathy. Compared to similar sized towns and villages accross and the general countryside, the IoM is pretty shit and the people are stuck up their own arses patting each other on back about how good the island supposedly is. My mum used to tell me i was the best, didn't mean it was true

The three legs just mean the Isle of Man government can run away faster to avoid facing uo to its responsibilities. Just check the "Don't Bank on the Isle of Man" videos.

Nonbe1iever, the 3 legs are a symbol for the island, meaning that whichever way you're going to throw me, I will stand.
That is why it has 3 legs.

Sorry for the late reaction, I only came to watch this video right now. Thanks for the information about the 3 legs.
I think it is a beautiful thought that is behind this flag.

Are the 3 legs to symbolise that people on the Isle of Man look like mutants,
And the Isle of Man is the campest name for a place ever!! GAY

I agree; many of the Manx resemble mutants. Perhaps this is precisely BECAUSE of the island's gay name.

yes it does , but as taloncompany mark says , it was a symbol of the indo-european peoples , concretly that symbol of the flag is not indo-european , it comes from celtic people and its called triskelion
uudrakgvens 2 years ago 2
It also relates to the Manx sea god Mannanin who tried to defeat St Patrick by transforming into three legs and attempting to run him down. But Patrick survived. The Manx "sloagan" also links with the flag - "Which ever way you throw me, I will stand."

Pardon? My country doesn't own KFC McDonalds or Burger King.
Or are you trying to equate intelligent animals slowly drowning in their own blood as they are butchered alive with the five seconds or so it takes to kill a cow?
maureenOWW 2 years ago
The whales die instantly. And since when is a whale more worthy than any other animal ? That sir, is discrimination. Secondly, they don't drown in they're own blood.
ZZaarraakkii 2 years ago
'The whales die instantly' - oh, so the half-hour film of them struggling to breathe as they flop about in their own blood after having their fins chopped off, that's just special effects is it? The blood spurting out of their blowholes, they're just doing that for the fun of it?
Are you insane???
maureenOWW 2 years ago
What the hell have you been watching ?! It's nothing like that.. Christ.
ZZaarraakkii 2 years ago
Because they have a bigger brain you diseased fuckstick. Body mass to brain mass ratio is how you determine intelligence, and whales are near the top of the list. Just how ignorant ARE you, hmm?
maureenOWW 2 years ago
Dude, you are the one to call me ignorant ? So basically, killing stupid people is okay then ? The intellectual should survive and breed one superior race and fuckin' harvest the unintelligent ? The animals didn't do this to themselves, they were born like that, some smart, others not so smart, so they coulden't do anything about it. But killing the stupid is ok ?
ZZaarraakkii 2 years ago
'But killing the stupid is ok ?' - in your case, yes.
I'm talking about ability to feel stress by the animal, and intellect plays a huge part in that. An animal that knows it is going to be killed will suffer more than one who can't comprehend the concept. Whales communicate and have close family ties, second only to primates, when one is being cut to pieces the others are completely aware and hear their screams of pain, which stresses them and makes them panic as can be seen in the videos.
maureenOWW 2 years ago
Can you link me to one of these "videos" ? It seems like you have been watching some messed up cult try to kill them with a fistfight.
ZZaarraakkii 2 years ago
Look on youtube for: Danmark Massacre - Whaling in the Faroe Islands
Tell me if you think these animals are dying 'instantly', which is what you said earlier.
They APPEAR to be struggling to breath while bleeding to death and flopping about in their own blood and guts, as their family members (i.e. the other whales) die around them. The whole thing, as you well know, takes several minutes, Now, would YOU like to be murdered with the rest of your family while being drowned in this way?
maureenOWW 2 years ago
We don't love you, it's illegal to kill any marine mammal in manx waters, and fish such as the basking shark are protected.
The world will keep hating you until you stop being medieval primitives.

Mark Cavendish is from the Isle of Man though he's not very popular because he's a bit of a knob. He also said in a cycling magazine that he said he felt he was English but from the Isle of Man which i don't think would have gone down well with the over-patriotic pricks that are the Manx people.
costedmn 2 years ago
Who cares what Cavendish thinks (great Manx name, btw - not). The IOM has been part of Norway, it's been part of Scotland, but NEVER part of England so Cavendish is just being ignorant and provocative - which he is in general, from what I understand.
