Purépecha
Basic Info
ISO 639-3: tsz
Purépecha is currently spoken in the highlands of Michoacán, Mexico. [1] There are approximately 55,000 speakers of the language in all countries. [2] It's considered a language isolate, meaning that it doesn't seem to be related to any other known languages. [3] It's also considered an agglutinative language, but is sometimes considered polysynthetic as well. [4] Its current AES status is shifting [5]; similarly, its language status is 5 (Developing). [6] It uses Latin script [7], but the official alphabet is the P’URHEPECHA JIMBO KARARAKUECHA (Purépecha Alphabet). [8]
Source Availability
There seem to be various sources available (on Glottolog).
Lenakel
Basic Info
ISO 639-3: tnl
Lenakel is spoken on the western coast of Tanna Island in Vanuatu by approximately between 8,500 to 11,500 speakers. Its language status is 5 (Developing). [9] It also uses Latin script [10]. No further information was found at the moment.
Source Availability
Linguist John Lynch has done extensive research and documentation of Lenakel, so I think there will be various sources available.
Jeju
Basic Info
ISO 639-3: jje
Jeju has 5,000 speakers in South Korea. It's a head-final, agglutinative, suffixing language. It historically does not have a writing system, but there are two recently devised orthographies in use. Both versions use the Korean alphabet Hangul along with one additional letter ㆍ, a character previously used in the Middle and Early Modern Korean scripts. There are two orthographies largely based on the differing morphological analyses analyses of the language. [11] Its language status is 8a (Moribund). [12]
Source Availability
There doesn't seem to be too much, but revitalization efforts are ongoing.
