  List of endangered languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Similarly, the Hawaiian language has only about 1,000 speakers but it has stabilized at this number, and now has school instruction in the language from kindergarten through college.

The dominance of the new highland planting agriculture ensured that the new communities came to speak the Chagga Language of the makers of that agriculture.
The beginnings of chaga interactions with the ongamo date well before 1600, and at some point in time the Ongamo had even been the dominant people through much of the Kilimanjaro area.
By seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the ongamo were probably becoming increasingly restricted, by chaga expansion, to eastern kilimanjaro.

The diffusion of languages in Africa caused initially by interaction between ethnic groups through fighting, trading, intermarrying, economic systems (Ogot, 1997) and later by forced federation of disparate communities during colonialism, is a phenomon which is beginning to take a deserved attention of scholars in Linguistics.

 Nilotic Family
Determining the precise number of Nilotic languages depends on complex issues that involve degree of mutual linguistic comprehension between speakers of different language varieties, and ethnic self-identity.
Generally, linguists say that if two language varieties are not mutually intelligible between their respective speakers, then the varieties should be called distinct "languages" (rather than "dialects of a single language").
Modernly, Nilotic languages are spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
