minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•8 months agoHere is a fun addition to this – in the year 2010, Boa Sr died. She was the last speaker of the Bo language - one of the ten Great Andaman languages. So, in our lifetime, there was a language from this area that went from “1” speaker left to “0.” I would assume that there are a few tribal languages out there somewhere that have less than 100 though I couldn’t name them.
