Talk:Manx people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why are the English shown as connected Ethnic group?

[edit] Expansion request

No text at all, just a table and three internal links? Surely there is something to be said about the fascinating Manx people who are a unique mixture of the Celtic and Nordic. David | Talk 08:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

I've redirected this page to the Isle of Man. It's been a year, and nothing much has happened with this article, besides petty relatedness disputes. Feel free to recreate if this page can be made remotely informative.--Nydas^(Talk) 15:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relatedness

Let's say that someone comes along and starts insisting that Swedish people are 'related' to the Manx. What sources exist to refute them?--Nydas^(Talk) 21:22, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Swedish might be stretching it, but certainly the Manx have ancient ties to the surrounding countries, and Scandinavia/Nordic countries, esp. Iceland and Norway. --MacRusgail 15:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

What sort of academic foundation does 'ancient ties' have? There was a large debate about the ethnic group infobox six months ago: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Archive 6#Scrap the infobox, started by me. I'll probably raise it again at some point.--Nydas^(Talk) 20:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

It's a big bone of contention, but amongst other things, there are connections on the basis of language, native political structures, surnames, place names etc --MacRusgail (talk) 15:52, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
