Demisa is now shifting, not threatened, it should be 7 not 6b. I was able to visit this village recently and only old generation could speak Demisa.

Editorial Action

We will update the EGIDS and add an age range for Demisa [dei] in Papua, Indonesia, which will all be included in the next edition of the Ethnologue.
