[langmaker2] Dead?

[John Schilke]

Not to seem contrary, but I'd like to point out that there are now child
speakers of Manx, being taught the language in school, and that not a few
adults have it, too.  Does one then say that it is being resurrected?

Or, is it like a pidgin undergoing creolization, such as the Chinook
Jargon of Pacific Northwest, which is being used increasingly by both
adults and children in Oregon because of efforts of revivification?

Best wishes,
John
