	Ned Maddrell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edward "Ned" Maddrell (1877?–December 27, 1974) was a fisherman from the Isle of Man who was arguably the last surviving native speaker of the Manx language.
		Ned Maddrell, who went to sea at 13, found he was able to keep his Manx "alive" by talking to Gaelic-speaking sailors on British ships.
		Ned is a sprightly old man, a trifle deaf but very proud of his role as one of the last native speakers.

		In contrast to some other native speakers, Ned appears to have enjoyed his minor celebrity status, and was very willing to teach younger language revivalists such as the recently deceased Leslie Quirk, and the still active Brian Stowell.
		De Valera had been angered some years before at the inaction of the British and Manx governments over the language, and had sent over sound recording vans to preserve what was left.
		The second objection to the claim is that many Manx native speakers often did not openly announce themselves due to some social stigma attached to the language, and/or emigrated.

	NED MADDRELL LECTURE 1996
		The period of language shift in Man extends essentially from ca.1840- ca.1880, and by 1900 the shift was, with perhaps the exception of Cregneash where Manx lingered on till ca.1910, to all intents and purposes complete.
		The ‘later’ native speakers were reared in Manx, either from their parents or grandparents (or great aunt in the case of Ned Maddrell, the last native speaker), at a time when Manx outside their immediate community was passing rapidly into extinction, if not already extinct.
		For communication outside their community English was necessary and came to be their ordinary means of discourse till their deaths (except in the presence of enthusiasts when they were pressed to resuscitate their knowledge of Manx for the purposes of the Revival).

		Up until the 1800s English, although it would be used for trade and administration purposes, was a foreign language to most Manx people. However, due to economic, social and political pressures, the language suffered an enormous decline, to such an extent that by 1961 only 165 people claimed to speak the language.
		However, by the time the last native speaker of Manx, Ned Maddrell, died in 1974, a revival in interest had begun.
		This interest has recently gathered pace to the extent in the last census (2001) 2.2% of people in the Island could speak Manx, of whom 47% were under the age of 20.
