Comment:
Maleng (5879-pkt) = Endangered (40 percent certain, based on the evidence available)

(see Bradley 2007)

E16/E17/E18/E19/E20/E21/E22/E23/E24/E25/E26/E27/E28 has two Laotian languages Maleng [pkt] and Bo (Laos) [bgl], the latter with the alternative names including Kha Bo and Tai Bo. However, the (Kha) Bo are originally speakers of Maleng [pkt] who are being Laoticised (as Tai Bo) ( Michel Ferlus 1996: 12 ). In either case, their language is already covered by the entries Maleng [pkt] or Lao [lao]. See also: Bo (Laos) [bgl], Lao [lao].
