 Our Languages Are Dying - Global Policy Forum - Globalization
Sixteen out of Kenya’s 42 languages are at serious risk of disappearing, according to “Extinct and Endangered Languages”, a recent report by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
The fear being expressed today is that some of these languages, in view of their degrees of adulteration or outright abandonment, may not live to see the 22nd century.
Languages serve as important symbols of group belonging, enabling different groups of people to know what ethnic group they belong to, and what common heritage they share.

 Cushitic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cushitic languages are a subgroup of the Afro-Asiatic languages phylum, named after the Biblical figure Cush by analogy with Semitic.
Cushitic was traditionally seen as also including the Omotic languages, then called West Cushitic, but this view has been largely abandoned; the Omotic languages are considered an isolated branch of Afro-Asiatic.
Richard Hayward, on the other hand, breaks up East Cushitic into three well-supported families: Sidamic or Highlands, a diverse Lowlands family (with Afar, Somalic, and Oromic subgroups), and Dullay (he apparently leaves Yaaku unclassified), that he believes should be considered separately when attempting to work out the internal relationships of Cushitic.

 Articles - Yaaku
A revivalist movement has been rising among the Yaaku in recent years, aiming to strenghten the Yaaku identity.
The Maasai look down upon hunter-gatherer peoples, calling them Dorobo (& ones without cattle'), and many Yaaku consider the Maasai culture to be superior.
