Prof. Marstrander takes up the research work begun by Prof. John Rhys (1886-1893), Uni-Oxford, of some 87 native speakers of Manx Gaelic from all 17 parishes in the Isle of Man. Marstrander, coming some thirty years later, was able to record some 29 native speakers from various parts of the North and South of Man, but no longer from every parish, as Rhys was able to do.
Prof. Marstrander was a Celticist by training and was often visiting native speakers of Irish. But it was in the Isle of Man that he made his systematic investigation. This work tells his story.
