Possible edit: Miwok Speaker Citation

[edit]

The statement about the number of extant Miwok speakers needs citation to be credible. If one of the four listed references includes such a figure, it would be helpful if it were pointed to via ref tag. Though the figure is less clear for Lake Miwok, Golla's section[1] in the 2007 Encyclopedia of the world’s endangered languages includes a 2001 figure of at least six speakers of Northern Sierra Miwok. This, too, is somewhat problematic, as he also says that only one of these speakers has "active conversational fluency". If the single Lake Miwok speaker is still alive, that would put the most conservative estimate at two speakers. ExitFreshly (talk) 05:04, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
