A delegation from Jersey has been here finding out what's being done to protect and grow Manx language usage.
The Channel Island has its own native language, known as Jerriais, which derives from the language spoken by the Normans.
The States - Jersey's parliament - voted in 1998 to support it.
Jean Le Maistre is a former, long-serving member of the States, and current president of Le Don Balleine, the Jerriais teaching programme.
He says it was a trip he took to the Isle of Man in the 1980s which was the inspiration for setting up classes in Jersey schools:
