In order to judge if a language is endangered, the number of speakers is less important than the age distribution; there may be 500,000 speakers of the Breton over 50 years of age, but fewer than 2,000 under 25 years of age - it is likely Breton will die out in the next half-century.
There are languages in Indonesia reported to be in a similar situation with as many as two million native speakers alive now, but all of advancing age, with practically no transmission to the young.
While there are somewhere around six or seven thousand languages on Earth today, about half of them have fewer than about 3,000 speakers, and experts predict that even in a good scenario, about half of today's languages will go extinct within the next fifty to one hundred years.

Hadza is classified as a Khoisan language by Greenberg (1976), along with Sandawe, its neighbouring language.
The reasons for this classification include the presence of clicks in the language and a relatively small number of proposed cognates with the better-known Khoisan languages.
Because of its seemingly typological nature, this classification is disputed, but relatively little research has been undertaken as to what the genetic affiliation of Hadza and Sandawe might be.
