		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.
		On the other hand, while there are 30,000 Ladin speakers left, almost all children still learn it as their mother tongue, thus Ladin is not endangered in the 21st century.

		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.
