Former Manx Language Development Officer has say on Sir John's address
The Lieutenant Governor's decision to deliver his instructions in English and Manx on Tynwald Hill was 'fundamentally significant'.
That's from former Manx Language Development Officer Phil Gawne says when people in power use the language, it shows how important it is.
It comes as a strategy aims to double the number of Manx speakers on the Island over the next decade.
Mr Gawne believes Sir John Lorimer's example will help with that aim:
Isle of Man Medical Society welcomes health review, saying it's 'time to listen to doctors'
Police urge motorists to allow extra time on icy roads
MHK: Minister should resign if he disagrees with minimum wage policy
Manx farmer 'delighted' but aware 'far from out of the woods'
