Ned Maddrell's place in history

At the time of his death in 1974, Edward "Ned" Maddrell was the last surviving native speaker of the Manx language, which is spoken on the Isle of Man. Since his death, and partly because of his efforts, the language has undergone a revival at now has about 1800 people who speak it as a second language.
