Public Comment
"They numbered some 50 individuals when first investigated in detail in 1971 and were then losing their language rapidly and becoming assimilated to the adjacent Maasai (Heine 1975)... Brenziger (1992) reports on a survey in 1989 which found that as few as ten speakers with some command of the language remained."
