Comment:
Saisiyat (2516-xsy) = Severely Endangered (100 percent certain, based on the evidence available) (The Saisiyat are very much involved in language preservation. But there is a "language" gap between people over 80 (they have their own intonation, grammar etc.) and those under 80.)

(see Zeitoun et al. 2015)
