Mi gyrhaeddais yn Ynys Manaw y prynhawn ‘ma, a dw i’n aros yn Douglas, prif dref yr ynys. Roedd hi’n braf heddiw, ac roedd y môr yn dawel. Does dim llawer o Fanaweg i glywed neu i weld yma, heblaw ar rhyw arwyddion ac ar amserlen y bysiau. Bydda i’n cwrdd â pobl sy’n siarad Manaweg yfory.

Oileán Mhanann

Tháinig mé go dtí an Oileán Mhanann an tráthnóna seo, agus tá mé fanacht i nDubh Lios, príomhbhaile an oileáin. Bhí lá breá ann inniu agus bhí an fharraige ciúin. Níl go leor Manainnis a chluinstin nó a fheiceáil an seo, ach amháin ar roinnt comharthaí agus ar amchlár na busanna. Casfaidh mé le daoine atá Manainnis acu amárach.

Isle of Man

I arrived in the Isle of Man this afternoon, and I’m staying in Douglas, the island’s capital. It was fine today, and the sea was flat calm so the voyage over from Liverpool went smoothly. I haven’t heard or seen much Manx here, except on some signs and on the bus timetable. I’m be meeting some Manx speakers tomorrow.
