Did you know that the birth place of the Manx Gaelic language, the Isle of Man, became geographically separated from Ireland and Britain some time around 8000 BC? It is thought that the first settlers to the island arrived around roughly 6500 BC. These people were hunters and gatherers, as well as fishermen. According to archaeological evidence, they lived in small natural shelters made of wood and rough cut stone. Many ancient artifacts have been found from this time period, such as small flint and bone tools. If you are interested in viewing them, they can all be seen in the island's museum known as the Manx Museum. It is not known what language these ancient people spoke, as Manx Gaelic was brought to the island by Irish settlers thousands of years later.
