Aasáx language : ウィキペディア英語版 | Asa language
The Asa (Aasá) language, commonly rendered Aasax, was spoken by the Asa people of Tanzania. The language is nearly extinct;〔("Aasáx | Ethnologue: A language of Tanzania" )〕 ethnic Assa in northern Tanzania remember only a few words they overheard their elders use, and none have ever used it themselves. Little is known of the language; what is recorded was probably Aasa lexical words used in a register of Maasai, rather like the mixed language Mbugu. ==Classification==
Asa is usually classified as Cushitic, most closely related to Kw'adza. However, it might have retained a non-Cushitic layer from an earlier language shift, and might be best left unclassified.〔("Towards a new classification of African languages" ), ''Linguistic Contribution to the History of Sub-Saharan Africa,'' University of Lyons〕 The Aramanik (Laramanik) people once spoke Asa, but shifted to Nandi (as opposed to Maasai).
