But there are dozens of languages in the US that are almost
dead: Native American, chiefly, but a couple from obscure
places in Europe whose folks colonized here and now are
left with a dozen or less still speaking the mother tongue.

Yes, but I think that one is Australian, if I remember
the 'daffynition' word correctly. Many Native American
Tribal tongues are about gone.

I think I read somewhere that one of the NA tongues had two people left who spoke it and one of them was interviewed and refused to speak anything but that and they had to find someone who could speak it to translate for them, found the other speaker and then had to give up on the interview once they had been introduced because they had both thought that they were the last speakers of that language and had a major catching up session in their language
