Manx words added to Oxford English Dictionary

Three Manx words have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary.

They include a 'Chiollagh', or traditional fireplace and a 'Thie Veg',  or outhouse toilet. 

Also put in was 'Cooish', which means a friendly conversation or chat. 

The Culture Vannin organisation has welcomed the news, and says it's now wondering what words could be suggested for future additions.
