public_comment: ""The Elmolo are a small community of fishers living in two settlements along the eastern shore of Lake Turkana, in northern Kenya. Although long considered “the smallest tribe of Kenya” and almost onthe verge of extinction, the Elmolo have actually been increasing in recent years: they number today approximately 700... The Elmolo shifted from an East Cushitic language we call Elmolo (ISO 639 code: elo) to their present Samburu during the first half of the 20th century... According to my informants (2010), the last 'good' speaker of Cushitic Elmolo, Kaayo, died in 1999."",
