Where I live in northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora exist a language called "yoreme", one of the 68 native languages that coexist with spanish in México, some people are worried about that language might never be spoken again someday because with the past of time less people speak it. I don't that one day it will become extinct, by now is preservated in books with other cultural things of that people, and most interesting and curious to me, many non speakers use it already and we don't realize it. For example, i am familiarized with words like "cahui", that means mount and "bampo" that's is a place with water, a lake for example, and it's because many towns and cities have names with these words. Also some people often use a expression to say we confirm something: "jeewee", like: Are you going to be there this afternoon and i say jeewee, it's like of course but it literally means "yes"
