Manx is the Gaelic language of the Isle of Man, related to Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic but often described as being closer to the latter. Its last known speaker Ned Madrell died in 1974. It does not use a Gaelic orthography as do Irish and Scottish Gaelic but an idiosyncratic English-based spelling. There have been suggestions that a more Gaelic spelling be adopted (see Mark Kermode) but the traditional spellings are currently being taught. Manx is well documented in text and audio recordings. It has been suggested that the Manx language had some features in common with the Irish of SE Ulster (Bliss).
