By contrast to an extinct language which no longer has any speakers, a dead language may remain in use for scientific or legal functions. Sanskrit (India) Language is an example. There has been language revival in the case of Sanskrit and it is still spoken by everyone in Mathoor Village (Karnataka), India. Recently, another Indian language, the Aka-Bo language became extinct when its last known speaker, Boa Sr. died on Indian Republic Day, 2010. The Red Book of Endangered Languages was published by UNESCO and collected a comprehensive list of the world's languages currently facing extinction. It has been replaced by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.
