ISO 639-3: 
lgi

Lengilo speakers are Lundayeh ethnic who claim to have their own language identity. In the field, we saw that adults and young people are actively speaking Lundayeh. So, they maintain their own identity linguistically but not ethnically with Lundayeh.

Editorial Action

We will update the information on language vitality for Lengilu [lgi] in Indonesia, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.

Dear Renhard,

Thank you for this information on the vitality of Lengilu [lgi] in Kalimantan, Indonesia. It sounds like the EGIDS value should be changed to 7, with a definite shift taking place toward Lundayeh [lnd].

Best regards,

Chuck Fennig
Managing Editor, Ethnologue
