public_comment: ""Rantala (2009) reports that the last Akkala Sami speaker died in 2003. Nevertheless, my investigations show that there is at least one person aged 70 years with good knowledge of Akkala Sami and using Akkala Sami actively in conversations with active Kildin Sami speakers. In addition to that I estimate that there are several persons with passive knowledge of Akkala Sami on different levels...There is a group of middle-aged Akkala Sami in Ëna who are learning Kildin Sami as an 'intermediate language', hoping to switch to Akkala Sami more easily after they have acquired a good knowledge of Kildin Sami."",
