  • Manx Gaelic and Physics, a Personal Journey, by Brian Stowell
    keynote address Editors’ note: This is the text of a keynote address delivered at the 2011 NAACLT conference held in Douglas on The Isle of Man. Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now. Amazingly, up until 1992, there 111 JCLL 2010/2011 Stowell was no formal, official teaching of Manx in schools in the Isle of Man.

Now, for these SE91 few days in July, we are fortunate to be able to rekindle these friendships in the place where £6.55 it all began: Our homeland, Ellan Vannin, the Isle of Man. Whether your ancestor voyaged to the New World as an Elizabethan settler, or left behind a tholtan in the 1800s, or shipped out as a G.I. bride, we North American Manx all carry a piece of the Island in our hearts. And as the Manx in our blood thins out, we now welcome a new group of members, those who have come to love the Isle of Man for itself. To those members, we are delighted you have made the trip to discover what it is we find special about this unique and beautiful place. SE41 £6.60 Thank you for making the journey back.
