The Manx Gaelic Society (Manx: Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh) later known as the Manx Language Society, was founded in 1899 on the Isle of Man, United Kingdom. The groups' motto was Gyn çhengey, gyn cheer ("Without language, without country").
History
The group's first president was A.W. Moore, who would later become speaker of the House of Keys.
During the 1950s the group put great effort into recording the remaining speakers of the Manx language.
A stamp celebrating the centenary of the Society was issued in the Isle of Man in 1999.
