- Comment:
- Batsbi (1124-bbl) = Severely Endangered (80 percent certain, based on the evidence available) (Their [Tsova Tush] language, known as Batsbi or Bats, is spoken in approximately half of the village of Zemo Alvani... There is also a generational gap. [According to Revaz Orbetishvili,] ‘Some youth in their late twenties speaks Batsbi, but teenagers can’t speak it at all. The language is headed towards a disaster.’)
