MANX LANGUAGE - UNESCO COMMENT IN GAELG VIO

The latest edition of the Manx Gaelic newsletter, Gaelg Vio 12, contains a video report on Manx lessons being provided in a Douglas public house and is interesting because the BBC (who compiled the item) carry an interview with a spokesperson from UNESCO.

UNESCO recently provoked controversy amongst Manx speakers when it pronounced the Manx language extinct. The UNESCO spokesperson explains the rationale behind this curious statement.
