Manx, like Irish, is a branch of the Gaelic languages, with Gaelic cultural influence on the island dating back to the 5th century. For a large chunk of its history, this territory was ruled by UsefulNotes/{{Norway}} as the Kingdom of the Isles, until coming under [[UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}} Scottish rule]] with the Treaty of Perth in 1266. The island was then tossed back and forth between the Scottish and the English, until it finally came under the feudal lordship of the English Crown in 1399 and stayed with it under the British Crown, but the territory [[UsefulNotes/BritainVersusTheUK never became part of the UK proper]].

It's also the birthplace of Music/TheBeeGees, though the brothers moved to England during their childhood and later emigrated to Australia, where they began their music career.

I've made a compromise. I'll include the UK, Ireland and Crown Dependencies in Western Europe, as per UNESCO, but will keep the tropes shared between them and the Nordic countries under Northern Europe. Otherwise, I'll just keep doing this forever.
