- Gyn Chengey, Gyn Cheer
- Description
- Without language, without country. The motto of Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh, the Manx Language Society, founded in 1899 by A.W. Moore. The phrase captures the central argument of the language revival movement: that Manx was not a cultural ornament but the medium through which the island knew itself. Without it, the identity survived but in diminished form, like a landscape seen through glass.
