Did you know that there are two dialects of Manx Gaelic, those being Southern Manx and Northern Manx? There are not huge differences between the two dialects, just relatively subtle spelling and pronunciation variances. For example in Southern Manx the á and ó characters are pronounced e. In Northern Manx, the á usually remains pronounced as it's read. It's thought that the differences in the dialects emerged long ago when various immigrant communities lived together on the island, some of those being more heavily connected to Irish Gaelic, and others with more native roots to the Isle of Man. What is unique about the dialects, is that the island is relatively small, and yet different accents managed to linger around for many centuries. Pronunciation with all living languages varies from region to region across the globe, however they usually blend together quickly when they're in such close proximity to one another.
