The revival of the Manx language is the subject of a Guardian article today.
‘The Manx language is a wonderful comeback story,’ David Harrison, a lecturer who has spent the past 20 years studying endangered languages around the world, tells the UK national newspaper.
‘It impressed me so much because it was a language that defied the odds against survival.’
Among other people quoted is Adrian Cain, Manx Gaelic development officer at the Manx Heritage Foundation.
‘I often go to my local pub The Albert to speak Manx to friends, which is strange to think, given that years ago this could have ended up with me being asked to leave a pub,’ he tells the Guardian.
