Jeebin, the Manx Language Network, will be celebrating the Manx language island-wide throughout 2026.
As well as providing opportunities for those already involved in the language, it aims to engage and involve brand-new audiences as the organisers show that Manx language is for everyone.
Maybe you’d like to learn some Manx phrases, say Moghrey mie (good morning) to people for a week, or organise or attend an event.
Year of Manx
The network have already heard of ideas for community picnics, concerts, ceilis, social media campaigns, meditation in Manx.
The Year – Blein ny Gaelgey in Manx – is being organised by Jeebin, the Manx Language Network, who are encouraging everyone and anyone to get involved.
It aims to promote a positive image of Manx, increase participation, and inspire creativity, innovation, and establish a lasting legacy for Manx.
Five themes include young people and families, identity and sense of place, community and creativity, research and resources, and lifelong learning.
It doesn’t matter if you’re already a Manx speaker, or have never spoken a word of it in your life – there will be something for everyone, and a way to get involved.
