Gaelg (Ellan Vannin) - Manx Gaelic

Learn Manx Gaelic. I've already posted some videos on the Celtic Languages of Kernewek (Cornish) and Albannach (Scots Gaelic) so now it's time for Manx. It's a very small language not much bigger than Cornish) and has decreased recently but with the opening of the Manx-Medium School, it seems there's hope for it yet. Learn YOUR respective language so YOUR heritage isn't harmed! A NATION WITHOUT A LANGUAGE IS A NATION WITHOUT A HEART - CENEDL HEB IAITH, CENEDL HEB GALON (That's Cymraeg (Welsh) by the way)

The languages are of two groups wich leads to some confusion. They are all related but some closer than others:

Gaelic languages:

Scots Gaelic

Irish Gaelic

Manx

Brittonic languages:

Cymric (welsh)

Cornish (Cornwall)

Breton (Bretagne/France)

Lallans, Ullans, Doric however are all Germanic languages (and so is the extinct "Norn" of Shetland and Orkney).

Cymraeg = Welsh

Bidh Gàidhlig Eilean Mhannain iasalach dhut. Suas leis na chànainean Ceilteach!

The best way to keep Manninagh (Manx) vibrant, is to be able to use it in a banc (bank) transaction. Can the people of Mona (Isle of Man) do it? Britain would be keeping a great cultural heritage alive!

It might be an idea to be more sure of your pronunciations before posting up videos of you speaking a language, ne? hehe Ah well, nicely done, and it's a good basis for starting to learn the language. Unfortunately, if you said "gura mie ayd" in a shop, very few people would actually know what you're saying. I personally don't speak much Manx, but I understand it enough to sing in it haha

@LouHannahLou Thank you! :)

[LouHannahLou]

Your pronounciation is pretty good :D I don't know if you have been told this already, but another way of saying, "I am fine thank you" is "Feer vie gura mie ayd" :)
