Practical Manx

The book covers the grammar, spelling and pronunciation of Manx Gaelic in such a way as to render the language accessible to readers of all levels of competence. An accompanying website with voice recordings provides a unique opportunity to observe intonation patterns and other features (www.practicalmanx.com). This beautifully written new grammar of the Manx language is of considerable benefit to all interested in our national history. Honourable Noel Cringle, MLC, President of Tynwald This important book is certain to be appreciated and used by teachers and students. Those of us who may be fluent and literate in related Celtic languages, such as Scottish Gaelic and Irish, but who may find Manx orthography a somewhat daunting and inconsistent mask, will soon regard this book as an indispensable vade mecum. Professor Donald Meek, University of Edinburgh On behalf of the North American Manx Association may I congratulate Jennifer on this highly informative Manx book. I am sure it will prove to be an excellent reference guide and must-have for all interested Manx language parties. Laurence D. Skelly, President, North American Manx Association
