I would like to submit a suggestion that when the people who speak a language all bear names that come from the linguistic heritage of another language - and these names have not been established against their will - then the people's language is at best moribund.

"Paddy Huddlestone"?

Well, I think a language with ten speakers can be safely called moribund anyway.

Not necessarily, Ned. Aboriginal names are not to be used lightly, so people tend to have a Western name that the government and linguists and so on can a) pronounce and b) use. Within the community kinship names/ skin names or nicknames are used. I still don't know the Aboriginal names of everyone I've worked with.

The frustrating ones are those where there are only two speakers left, and they're not allowed to speak to each other.
