The Society considers the publication of these too heavy an undertaking for its present funds; but it is not without hope that it may at some future, perhaps not distant, time be able to aid in giving them to the world, and that the present publication may open the way to such a result.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed grammatical description of the Manx language, a Celtic language historically spoken by the population of the Isle of Man before falling into decline in the 19th century.

In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the language's structure, the author also discusses the challenges the language faces due to a decline in native speakers and explores the historical development and etymology of Manx words to provide deeper insight into its unique features.
