Heritage-language monolinguals may have an important impact in their communities. This article examines an 85-year-old male monolingual Speaker of Mexicano (Nahuatl). His son and grandson exhibit unusually conservative Mexicano usage, in spite ofeconomic and educational success that would normally predict for them an advanced position on t he languageshift continuum. The influence of monolinguals might be emulated in language-development programs by rewarding Speakers who agree to "behave like monolinguals."
