Manilaid is a 1.87 km2 (0.72 sq mi) Estonian islet in the Gulf of Riga, located between the island of Kihnu and the mainland's Tõstamaa peninsula. Together with the neighbouring smaller uninhabited islets Sorgu and Annilaid, Manilaid forms the village of Manija. Administratively the village belongs to Tõstamaa Parish in Pärnu County.
The island was unpoplulated until 1933, when about 100 residents moved to Manilaid from the neighbouring Kihnu. At its peak, there were about 150 residents on the island. During the Soviet era, the population decreased. On January 1, 2011, Manilaid's population was 47.
Manilaid has a ferry connection with the Munalaiu harbour on the mainland. In the winter, when the Gulf of Riga is covered with ice, the island is reachable by ice bridge.

Los pokut wyznacza cik
Grzechy bij tw rozpacz po twarzy
Pici masz zacinite a oczy to gniew
Twarz pod kapturem skrywam
Jakbym trdowata bya
Mwi cho kamstwem wszyscy to zw
Zetr czym wstyd ogupi si skatuj
Prawie na mier
Po to by sowa moje nadal byy prawdziwe
Los pokut wyznacza cik
Grzechy bij tw rozpacz po twarzy
Pici masz zacinite a oczy to gniew
Twarz pod kapturem skrywam
Jakbym trdowata bya
Mwi cho kamstwem wszyscy to zw
Zetr czym wstyd ogupi si skatuj
Prawie na mier
Po to by sowa moje nadal byy prawdziwe
Kiedy bdy popeniam pac
Kiedy gubi si w yciu pac
Co tym razem pokut bdzie
Kara zawsze od winy wiksza
Wina zawsze od kary
Mniejsza jest!!!
Zetr czym wstyd ogupi si skatuj
Prawie na mier
Po to by sowa moje nadal byy prawdziwe
Los pokut wyznacza cik
Grzechy bij tw rozpacz po twarzy
Pici masz zacinite a oczy to gniew
