Just 50 years ago Manx seemed to be on the point of disappeari ng. f you spoke
Manx in a pub on the island in the 1960s, it was considered provocative and you were likely to find yourself in a fight,
” BeaalStowell, a 76 ? year? oldislander who
has written a Manx? Ianguage novel, The Vampire Murders, and presents himself in a radio show called Manx Radio spread ing the Ian guage every Sun day.
The Ianguage itself is similar to the Gaelic tongues spoken in the island's neighbours, Ireland and Scotland. A century ago, “ Moghreymie ”would have been commonly heard instead of“ Good morning ” on the island.
“In the 1860s there were thousands of Manx people who couldn't speak English, says Stowell. “But only a century later it was considered to be so backward to speak the language that there were stories of Manx speakers getting stones thrown at them in the towns. I learnt it myself from one of the last surviving native speakers back in the 1950s. ”
Recession in the mid? 19th century forced many Manx people to leave the island to seek work in England. And parents were not willing to pass the language down through the
generations, with many people believing that to have Manx as the first language would affect job opportunities overseas.
There was a fall in the language. By the early 1960s there were perhaps as few as 200 who spoke the tongue. The last native speaker, Ned Maddrell, died in 1974. UNESCO pronounced
that the language died out in the 1990s.
Now there is even a Manx language primary school in which all subjects are taught in this language, with more than 60 pupils attending it. Manx is also taught in other schools across the island.
28. If you spoke Manx in a pub on the island in the 1960s, you would _____ .
A. be attacked B. be praised C. be ignored D. be encouraged
29. What does “ Moghrey mie ” mean according to the passage? A. All the best. B. Congratulations. C. Never mind. D. Good morning. 30. Which of the following about Brian Stowell is TRUE?
A. He is a teacher from Ireland. B. He wrote a novel in English. C. He works at a radio station. D. He learned Manx in the 1950s. 31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The Manx language. B. The life of Manx people. C. The Manx Island.
