El idioma manés o gaélico manés (en manés: Gaelg Vanninagh o Gailck Vanninagh) es una lengua celta hablada en la isla de Man, una pequeña isla del Mar de Irlanda que constituye una dependencia autogobernada de la Corona británica que no pertenece al Reino Unido. Aunque se le consideraba una lengua extinta tras la muerte de su último hablante nativo en 1974, en los últimos años las autoridades locales y los propios maneses se han esforzado por revivirlo, promoviendo su utilización en escuelas y demás ámbitos culturales.

Manx (native name Gaelg or Gailck, pronounced [ɡilk] or [ɡilɡ]), also known as Manx Gaelic, and also historically spelled Manks, is a Goidelic Celtic language of the Indo-European language family, historically spoken by the Manx people. Only a small minority of the Isle of Man's population is fluent in the language, but a larger minority has some knowledge of it and Manx is considered an important part of the island's culture and heritage. Although the last surviving native speaker of the Manx language, Ned Maddrell, died in 1974, the language has never fallen completely out of use. Manx has been the subject of language revival efforts, and in recent years Manx has become more visible on the island, with increased signage, radio broadcasts and a bilingual primary school. The revival of Manx has been made easier because the language was well recorded; for example, the Bible has been translated into Manx, and audio recordings were made of native speakers.
