- Founding of Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh
- Description
- The Manx Language Society — Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh — was founded to preserve and promote the Manx language. A.W. Moore and others recognised that the language was dying and that its loss would mean the loss of the Island's cultural identity. The Society's work would eventually feed the revival that produced Bunscoill Ghaelgagh a century later.
