[2] Coonceil ny Gaelgey was set up in December 1985 as a sub-committee of the Manx Heritage Foundation.
It is responsible for the provision of authoritative Manx versions of the titles of government departments and street names, and the creation of new words and phrases.
Since then the number of members has increased and includes prominent figures in the Manx speaking community such as Bob Carswell and Phil Gawne.

The Manx Language Strategy 2017-2021 aims to raise the profile of Culture Vannin's translation service, which incorporates the expertise of Coonceil ny Gaelgey.
