Next Episode: Agenda 13.11.23 - is the Isle of Man Government "Fanning the Flames of a World on Fire?"

The Cooish drew to a close yesterday after yet another successful week of events associated with the Manx language. So what do those attending this Manx language festival think about the language and its place in Island life. The language has grown in numbers of speakers, learning resources and activities over the past three decades but how relevant is it to modern life in the Isle of Man? Is it as some suggest a waste of time and money, or does it hold an essential place at the heart of Manx culture and identity? No prizes for guessing what Phil Gawne thinks!
