Montana Salish (according to Wikipedia)

And now we are in that part of the world, could you name a language which according to a strict phonemic analysis only has one vowel (3 if you disregard the lack of phonemic pairs), and which uses this one vowel so sparingly that it just as well could have dropped it completely. Actually the one I'm thinking of also has pharyngal consonants.


Ah, wikipedia, my goto source.

Hard find, but that is Nuxálk (looks interesting)

Name a language that has 80%-85% lexical similarity with Purik and is spoken by over 100000 speakers.

About the question :
Name a language that was once extinct and has been brought back from the dead
the answer can be also Hebrew (or not?)

Name a language that , when you want to reach the speakers, you need to use 3 different scripts.
