'''Hadza''' is a [[language isolate]] spoken along the shores of [[Lake Eyasi]] in [[Tanzania]] by around 1,000 [[Hadza people]], who include in their number the last full-time [[hunter-gatherer]]s in Africa. It is one of only three languages in East Africa with [[click consonant]]s. Despite the small number of speakers, language use is vigorous, with most children learning it, but [[UNESCO]] categorizes the language as vulnerable.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000187026|title = UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in danger}}</ref>
