Language Kind

Language kind sorts languages by how vital they are, on a scale from Safe through Vulnerable, Definitely Endangered, Severely Endangered and Critically Endangered to Extinct. This dimension groups languages that share the same vitality status, so a reader can see which languages are still passed to children and which have lost their last speakers.
