Dolly Pentreath (died December 1777) is often considered to be the last native speaker of the Cornish language (that is, the last person who spoke only or predominantly Cornish) - a legend which rose as a result of an account written by Daines Barrington of an interview he had conducted with Dolly. She has passed into legend for cursing at people with a long stream of fierce Cornish whenever she became angry. Wikipedia
