Still extinct?

[edit]

According to SIL request 2021-028, there are reports that there are still living Thao speakers exist. Should we re-write the header part and infobox? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 00:21, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since our ref for it being extinct was Ethnologue, I don't see why we shouldn't follow their decision now. I went ahead and changed it. Their entry gives the number of speakers as "4 (2021 Center for Aboriginal Studies). Also some semi-speakers (2021 E. Zeitoun). Ethnic population: 820 (2020 CIP)." Also "Elderly only. Shifted to Mandarin Chinese."
Was there a typo in the change request, with "for" for "4"? — kwami (talk) 00:57, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
