public_comment: "The last speaker of Tunica, Sesostrie Youchigant, passed away in 1949; therefore there are no native, second-language or semi speakers of the language (Youchgant himself appears to have been a semi-speaker). However the Tunica-Biloxi tribe is working to change the situation, aiming lessons, classes, and learning materials at both children and adult tribe members.",

public_comment: "Tunica, a heritage language of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Marksville, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana, was spoken in the 17th and 18th century along the Mississippi River near Vicksburg, Mississippi ... the principal documentation is by Haas, who collected extensive data between 1933 and 1939 and published a grammar, a grammatical sketch, a dictionary, and a collection of texts. The last speaker, with whom Haas worked, died after 1950. ",
