Manx Gaelic Society
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Manx Gaelic Society (Manx: Yn Cheshaght Ghailekagh) later known as the Manx Language Society, was founded in 1899[1] on the Isle of Man, United Kingdom. The groups' motto was Gyn Chengey, gyn cheer ("Without language, without country").[2]

History
The group's first president was A.W. Moore, who would later become speaker of the House of Keys.[3]
During the 1950s the group put great effort into recording the remaining speakers of the Manx language.[4]
A stamp celebrating the centenary of the Society was issued in the United Kingdom in 1999.[5]
