Comment:
Vaeakau-Taumako (10369-piv) = Vulnerable (100 percent certain, based on the evidence available) (Although a very small language in terms of number of speakers, Vaeakau-Tamako is not likely to have ever had more, and is not immediately endangered in the strict sense of the term. It is still learned by children, and is the main language in most homes and in everyday life on all the Vaeakau-Taumako-speaking islands... there are, however, a number of domains in which Vaeakau-Taumako is losing ground to other languages, primarily English and the national lingua franca Solomon Islands Pijin.)
