Yes, the Wiki article I started off the list with is a very long, detailed explanation of the similarities and differences between Manx and Irish and Scottish Gaelic. Of course they are all forms of the same language, but I hesitate to say more than "they're similar" for fear of offending some speaker/resident of one or the other... I took Irish Gaelic in college but remember about two phrases and that's it.
