Manx (Gaelg Vanninagh) language, short recordings of Native speakers

[joelceol]

My mothers people were Manx and welsh I have ever wondered if Emily Christian knew any Manx words in 1850....more than likely

My grandmother's cousin Angus MacLellan (1869- 1965) remembered Manxmen coming to South Uist when he was a young man. "Some of them spoke Gaelic but God knows who could understand it" These pieces are not too difficult to understand although a bit fast .

I immediately understood "Soie sheese" - As it's phonetically very close to suigh síos. Suigh síos is one of the first Irish phrases we learn in school as children. I'm naturally interested in Manx - and one thing I've noticed that's true to the Ulster Dialect of Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Manx - Is the use of "Cha" as a negative.. Where I come from in Munster, Ireland - We say "Níl" as a negative. I'm not sure when this all changed, but the original Irish was certainly "Cha". Thanks :)
