Nah, it might (recently) have once been, but it's becoming much more natural now. Probably due to the school out west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard a conversation between two people using it the street like you would hear in parts of Wales, Ireland or Scotland.

Shake me up Judy Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 How to speak Manx just like Phil Gawne (In one Easy Lesson): 1. Double-up on all vowel sounds and stretch them out. 2. Thicken consonants with the tongue. 3. Make a noise like a farmyard animal. Any one will do. 4. Optional. Affect a Manx 'persona'. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
