| It's a very rarely spoken language in the Isle of Man with only about 200 fluent speakers, i was wondering if there was anyone here who can speak any celtic languages or even better, a bit of manx themselves to help me learn it, even scottish gaelic speakers could help me with pronunciation. |

| I know a fairly in depth history on the British Isles from the Colonial British Empire back to Wessex, the Anglo-Saxons, and yes, the Celtics. |

You could help me with the Pronunciation. I can pronounce some Manx like Mogrey mie, which is pronounced 'Mora My' The hardest thing for me to pronounce in Manx at the moment is 'Bannaghtyn' which i belive is pronounced 'Banacct-n' |

| Welsh is Brythonic whilst Manx is Goidelic, there's some rather large differences in pronunciation between them. it would be like using English pronunciation on Dutch words, it would come out wrong and garbled. |
