Where the Manx comes from: every Manx word and phrase was copied from Culture Vannin’s free Learn Manx lessons and spoken dictionary (learnmanx.com), plus a few phrases from Manx National Heritage’s Manx language page, checked on 26 October 2026, and the sources are listed on each pack’s credits page. Words we could not find in those sources were left out. Manx spelling can vary, so we follow those sources. Where a “say it like” guide is given, it is the approximate English-sound guide printed by Manx National Heritage; it is only a rough guide, so we point you to the free Learn Manx recordings for real voices. Drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. talkmanx.com and REALLYBYTE are independent and not affiliated with Culture Vannin or Manx National Heritage.
