Manx...
"Of the approximately 50,000 inhabitants of the Isle of Man, only
a few still speak Manx.   English is now universally in use on the
island.   The Isle of Man, in the Irish Sea, maintains many historic
traditions, including its outdoor legislature, the Tynwald, and a
culture rich in legend and folklore.   A Manx literature flourished
until the beginning of the 20th century.   A Celtic language,
Manx is closely related to Irish and Scottish Gaelic."
