historical and current status of the Puri language

I am from the Puri people and research our language. For more than a decade, my people have been working on revitalizing our language. We have speakers with varying proficiency degrees. However, many sources state that our language is extinct. There are currently no Puri speakers as L1, but there are Puri adults who communicate in the language, and we make various educational efforts to teach the language. It is inappropriate nowadays to consider the language as extinct. We even have words that survived after the 19th century and have made it into the current century, such as the word “txori” /ʧo.ˈɾi/ (forest). Thus, I recommend changing the status of the language from “10 – extinct” to “9 – Reawakening”.
