Rob Teare – Thank you to Rob who kindly reviewed some of the Manx Gaelic I was using and both corrected and offered alternative options where appropriate. Of course, there may be other ways to convey what I have written as the language is expansive and expressive but what you see is some simple Manx and my own personal choice.
Rob has created the Manx Corpus which is a free and open resource containing over 1.8 million Manx words and 700+ documents. Search function is available in Manx and English.
