Manx does not use the same spelling system (This probably isn't the right term. Please advise.)as the other two Gaelic languages. IIRC the Manx system is derived from English. although it must have used the same system as the other two at one time, since the Irish colonization of Scotland amd Man took place after Irish got writing. Not so? -Duke Keenan
