MORE ON VITALITY

"The overall population of Ogiek is below 20,000 of which, 75%% live in Mau Complex of Nakuru District. The Akie language is on the verge of deterioration after the only ancestral land for this community was invaded and demarcated by other communities including the Kipsigis, Tugen and Nandi. Daily trading has also caused the gradual loss of culture and language."

LANGUAGE CONTEXT COMMENTS

"The minority languages of Kenya are under severe pressure from the influx of outsiders into traditional regions."

Information from: “Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger” . Christopher Moseley (ed.) (2010) UNESCO Publishing

Information from: “A survey on language death in Africa” (402) . Sommer, Gabriele (1992) , Brenzinger, Matthias · Mouton de Gruyter

  • Endangered
    60 percent certain, based on the evidence available
  • 100-999

  • Various sources cited by Sommer (1992) suggest anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand speakers, and that, especially among the villages, younger people are more fluent in Maasai or Swahili than Akie.
