- Comment:
- Veps (3002-vep) = Severely Endangered (100 percent certain, based on the evidence available) (The language has lost its foothold in the families and is no longer used cross-generationally or intra-generationally… The domains in which Veps is used are very few and are usually restricted to the private spheres of life. Furthermore, children are no longer encouraged by their parents to use Veps. Parents might not consider learning Veps important, especially since knowledge of the minority language does not entail benefits or advantages in, for example, the labour market.)
