The Kiliwa language (Ko'leeu Nyaha) is the most endangered #Mexican native language. It is currently spoken by 3 elderly persons in the State of Baja California, although the entire community consists of 11 individuals. The language belongs to the larger „Yumano“ linguistic group, which also comprises the languages of neighboring groups such as the Cucapá, Kumiai and Papai, all of them with less than 400 fluent speakers.
