Edward Maddrell called Ned (Cregneash, 1877 - Douglas, December 27, 1974) was the last mother tongue in Manche. Biography modifies wikitesto
Ned Maddrell was a man of the island of Man and has long been considered the last mannese speaking Man of Isle of Man.
After the death of Save Kinvig in 1962, Maddrell was the only person to say that he had spoken Malaysian since childhood, he had learned the language from his prose.
In contrast to other speakers, Maddrell liked this little celebrity status and was happy to teach young people the language.
His death in 1974 led to the extinction of the Manchian language. However, in subsequent years there has been a resumption of language interest, so that in 1992 Man Island resumed teaching in schools, and in 2008 he became officially a living language. >
By 2015, people who know Mannese are about 1,800.
