Whatever happens to most of the minority / indigenous languages of the world, here's one that won't die off anytime soon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese_language

Sentinelese is the presumed language of the Sentinelese of North Sentinel Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Due to the lack of contact between the Sentinelese people and the rest of the world for the past three centuries, nothing is known of their language.[4] There is no way to know the vitality of Sentinel as the people do not allow outsiders onto the island and are very hostile towards them.
I heard about these people before, good stuff BlueMark!
Let them live how they want to live. They're not bothering anybody, are self sufficient, do not depend on anybody else, do not go to war.......In short, they just want to be left the hell alone to do as they please. I respect that about them and I hope that humanity has the decency to abide by this tribes wishes to be left the hell alone.
It's pretty cool that there's at least one place in the world that hasn't been touched or affected by the modern banking system or any type of modernity. For all the advantages that modern conveniences, civilization and social structure bring, I would bet my bottom dollar that this tribe on that island has a better sense of community, bonding and human connection than 99% of the 7.5 billion people living on the planet will ever know.
Good luck to this tribe, I wish them the best. If humanity has any decency in us, these people will be left the hell alone to live as they please.
