Culture
Main article: Culture of the Isle of ManThe culture of the Isle of Man is influenced by its Celtic, and to a lesser extent its Norse, origins.

Revival campaigns have attempted to preserve the surviving vestiges of Manx culture after a long period of Anglicisation, and significant interest in the Manx language, history and musical tradition has been the result.
