A Youtube video about the Manx accent is racking up tens of thousands of hits within days of being uploaded.
Ben Watterson, Juan McGuinness and Stephen Goodspeed put the short film A Study of the Manx Dialect together as a joke.
But they’re now suddenly finding themselves recognised after the clip went viral on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
Here’s a small example of their translations:
