Dear Antoine,

Apparently, a decision was made sometime between 2009 and 2014 that this language no longer had any speakers. That's the only response I can give.

Best wishes,

Chuck Fennig
Managing Editor, Ethnologue

I understand. I only suggested to have the following text:

"No known L1 speakers. 12 speakers reported in 1992. Last known speakers likely survived into the first decade of the 2000s. Ethnic population: 400 (1999 ISA)."
