NEILAC conducted a Language Vitality Survey following UNESCO’s (2003) assessment tool to assess the degree of language loss within the Aka (Koro) and Hrusso (Aka) communities. The primary objective of this study was to understand the factors leading to language shift and the potential for language abandonment among the target communities. While the survey results on Aka (Hrusso) indicated a significant revival rate, the data on Aka (Koro) shows critical endangerment, with nearly 90% loss of intergenerational transmission. Understanding the underlying causes of the present language health is imperative for developing targeted interventions to support its survival. This research endeavor is expected to yield valuable insights that would inform and guide language conservation efforts.
