Writing the future of Ayapaneco: an orthography for heritage and new speakers of a critically endangered language
Critically Endangered
20 percent certain, based on the evidence available
"Calculating the number of speakers can be tricky due to the level of endangerment, but my latest count is approximately 4 elder speakers and 1 younger heritage speaker. There are probably more heritage speakers but [they] haven't been surveyed yet....There might be some new speakers soon due to the 10-year revitalization process."
