Moghrey mie!

I'm Santiago Chau Príncipe, a University of Manchester Linguistics student, and I'm looking for people around the Isle of Man who have created or own signs that contain the Manx language.

These “signs” could be any text that is displayed to the public: a shop’s name, any kind of poster, graffiti, Manx house signs, etc. “Public” can also include the inside of a building, such as menus in a restaurant — as long as any person is able to see it. The sign doesn’t need to be entirely in Manx! It can just be a few phrases. My research focuses on finding out why people have chosen to include Manx in these signs and what are some of the choices made for the sign.

If you are interested in participating, contact me through this email: santiago.chauprincipe@student.manchester.ac.uk. Gura mie eu!

Here are some examples:

Thie Shirragh or the \"Falcon House\"

Welcome to Douglas sign and \"Doolish\" on a bus, Douglas

The Bookshop or Yn Shapp Lioar, Peel

Queens Promenade or Y Traie \"the beach\", Ramsey

I'm a learning of Celtic languages and I'm lightly dabbling in Manx. I find the spelling to be unique in it's own, and it's history is deep too. I learned that the Vikings had some form of influence on Gaelg, I can see this through some of the pronunciation, but is there any influence on the vocabulary of Gaelg?

We have paid opportunites for native speakers of Manx.

All you need to do is express your interest in becoming a course contributor through the link below and you may be contacted if Manx is chosen.

In Irish and Scottish Gaelic, the difference between a broad (velar or non-palatal) and a slender (palatal or non-velar) consonant can change the number, the case or even the meaning of a word, does such a thing exist in Manx? Also, is there an equivalent to the difference between n and nn, l and ll, and r and rr (as in Connacht Irish, Ulster Irish and Scottish Gaelic)?

A chairde Gael, Does anyone know of any maps of the Island in Manx?

Go raibh maith agaibh.

Hi, I was wondering if any of you would be willing to go on an online language exchange. I can offer German at around B1/2 level and Dutch at about an A1/2 level (although I am progressing with dutch atm). I could also potentially offer Northern and Southern English slang and whatnot but I don’t imagine any of you folks would want to learn about that

Thanks a lot!

How much manx dialects were there and what is the manx today, and what is a manx speaking are called

I am wondering in manx do you have something like the úrú and séimhiú, and what dialects are in manx

Hello there,

What do you guys think about Christopher Lewin? He's basically the only Manx language scholar I know about and I really like this paper he wrote about Manx revitalisation, specifically about the differences between Manx as it was spoken as a native language and Manx today where there is a range between complete authenticity and absolute English influence.

It's a bit of a touchy subject in Irish and so I was wondering what Manx speakers thought, thanks!

Hello speakers and learners of the Celtic languages!

Sometimes it's really difficult to practice Celtic languages, especially Manx, because it's hard to find speakers to talk to. But, I came across a community of people on Discord learning all the Celtic languages, and teaching one another. I thought it was a great place to practice the languages, and I'm going to post the link here.

The link ->https://discord.gg/wnFYnxE

Hope to talk to you there!

Are you currently learning Manx? Or any other language or dialect? Do you love it? Hate it? Or is it just meh?

I am a PhD student looking for language learners across the world of all possible languages and dialects to complete an online survey on individual differences in language learning. The questions in the survey are about the enjoyment and anxiety you experience during language learning, and how willing you are to learn languages and communicate in the language you are learning.

The survey is anonymous and takes 10-15 minutes to complete. The study forms part of the Capitalising on Linguistic Diversity research initiative at the University of Luxembourg.

If you are an adult and you currently learning any language, please consider completing this survey and helping a fellow Redditor out: https://www.soscisurvey.de/IDALL/

I you are using your smartphone to complete the survey, please enable the desktop version in your browser!

Hello! The Lingosphere is a server dedicated to language learning and teaching.
