Description:From the "This monograph is an important contribution to the study of the Celtic languages. Manx is an offshoot of 'Common Gaelic' closely related to modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic, and its phonology throws much light on the history of these two languages. Today only a few native speakers of Manx survive, and in a short time will have ceased to exist as a true spoken language. Manx orthography was based inappropriately on English, so that printed texts such as the Manx Bible give no reliable indication of the pronunciation. By making this survey of Manx phonology before it was too late, Professor Jackson has rendered a service of lasting value."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
